LeMoyne Star Finished!

After a month on the LA, it is finally finished -- well, except for the binding.  It is a large quilt but yard work took a lot of my time.  I'm just happy it is finished.

I always second guess what I did -- on this one, why didn't I do curved crosshatching around the stars.  Not all of the squares came out even so I had to make the decision whether to do another sewn line or leave a wide space.  I chose do add the line because the wide space really drew attention.  I NEVER have to worry about making a mistake because only God is perfect!!  I would be happy if I could just have ONE mistake per quilt!  I have enough fabric to make pillow shams to match the quilt.  That is my next sewing project.  But tomorrow is a day of rest -- I'm going to the AQS in Paducah tomorrow and back again Friday.
