    Absolutely gorgeous! The fusible webbing would most likely take the place of the stay stitching. Just be really careful with it so you don't stick to something you don't want. ( I say that because you know I have done that! :? )
    Thank you for keeping us current. I have an old book with the pattern, but have not had the courage to try it yet. I may invest in the Marti Mitchell templates you used. Your results are stunning. :lol:

    See how the center just whirls around? I think this looks a LOT better than having a bunch of seams meeting in the middle. Seems to me that no matter how well done a star is, you can still tell where the vertical and horizontal seams are through the middle.

    Plus, there really isn't a matching of points in the middle (which never quite works out for me), they just overlap all around. You iron the seams all in one direction.

    Stunning! I have some of Marti Mitchell's book, she makes quilting easy. :-) Your color choice is wonderful. Great job on the piecing!

    It is soo gorgeous...I just keep opening the thread up to drool all over it :oops: I'll be trying to hold my breath that since all has "fallen into place" so well for you on this quilt so far...that the applique will work out easily also. I would be pinning on the floor ....pin...pin...pin...pin.....then baste. Can't wait to see it!
