......miss Natalie from Pomona Kansas. This quilt will be shown at the Kansas State fair. It's a beauty. And it's big--93 x 112, all custom quilted, and decked out with Prairie Points. There's a variety of star blocks, all separated with blue sashing that was stitched in the ditch on all sides. The borders were different widths on the sides, which created even more interest. The 10.5 inch outer white border had applique flowers and leaves in each corner and was echo quilted with a flower motif throughout. We quilted the veins into the leaves at Natalie's suggestion. Brilliant touch. Enjoy and good luck Natalie!

| Each star block is different! |
 |
| Stitch in the ditch around the sashing is time consuming, but totally worth it. |

| Pinwheel blocks went around the quilt |
