happy dance for a top finished

I have another top to add to my hope chest. [from the tradition that a girl had to have 13 quilt tops completed before her engagement -- then was supposed to quilt them all before the wedding.] How many do I need completed before my divorce is final? This one makes 5 I think. ;-)This one was made from blocks sent me for my birthday from various friends. I think setting sampler type quilt is one of my most favorite activities these days :-)Stars-in-the-sashing is a setting I've been wanting to try for a long time and it seemed to really fit this quilt. I started with plain setting squares but 12" hunks of a neutral fabric looked so totally blah. 9 patches of mixed WOW and COC were more fun to work with. And lots of stash was used up for the scrappy stars and 9 patches. Wellll, not lots, but I didn't buy anything but 3 fat eighths of cream. I had planned to buy some dark something to make a border but I may just use a narrow binding of dark chocolate and leave it at that.
