happy dance for a top finished

I love it, Anne! I like the unusual settings you do.

Very nice! I like the 9-patch setting blocks AND the stars. You did a great job.

What a pretty quilt!

Wonderful! You've combined two of my favorite fabrics -- neutrals AND tone-on-tones. The setting is gorgeous! Great job.

Very nice, Anne. I really like the mixture of white and cream that you used for the background, and the sashing stars came out beautifully. Perhaps you could make a simple, pieced border of darks? then you still might not need to buy anything! . In message , Anne in CA writes

That is stunning. I love it and aggree about the narrow border!

Piggybacking here to say how much I like this quilt. Those stars in the sashing really make this one sing! I think a border of some sort would "finish" this off nicely -- and I like quilts to be generous in size on the bed. :)

This is lovely! The stars really pull all the sampler designs together, and the chain effect is wonderful. I agree that all it needs is a chocolate binding. Roberta in D

Thanks Mary. Maybe I will try for the title of Duchess of Sampler Settings. Not up to carrying off the full duties of a Queen ... :-)

Thank you Louise. I was looking again at your Rose Sampler and admiring the sashing in that.

Thanks Nancy. I've been having as much fun with settings as with actual blocks lately :-)

Thanks Patti. I need to pull out the rest of my darks and see what calls the loudest, I guess.

Thank you Estelle. I had planned a more elaborate border but I think it only needs a simple one.

Anne > That is stunning. I love it and aggree about the narrow border!

Hmmmm. Blue? Leave it to you Marisa to head me off in a whole 'nother direction.

Thank you Roberta. That was what I was striving for -- pulling together disparate elements. I am just afraid if I make too elaborate a border it would dilute that effect. Besides, the dang thing is b-i-i-i-i-g. The only quilt I've ever done that size was tied ...

It is beautiful, Anne! You are so creative!
