Delightful Stars – Quilting Lessons 1 thru 5

I finished stitching in the ditch which, thankfully, eliminated the majority of Pinmoors. Because of the density of my pin basting and the size of the quilt, managing the quilt without the Pinmoors catching on each other and popping off has been a challenge. However, the pins stayed on and I managed not to draw blood…ha. The quality of pics while the quilt is still on the quilting table is not that great. So I’ve decided to lessen the number of times I pull this baby off the table to take pics by consolidating the lessons for posting my progress.

Since this is a sampler quilt, I decided to handle the quilting in the same fashion, each star custom quilted with a common quilting theme in the background and on the borders.

Here are the before and after shots for the first five lessons.
