Did you hand piece this?

OMG! This is beautiful. That is alot of seams. Why not just keep the quilting in the background and something spectacular in the border.

Wow, this mini is beautiful. Someone once told me--if the design on the fabric or the pattern has a lot of detail, the quilting won't show up. Simple quilting would be best. The star is wonderful in itself. Maybe quilt in the blue fabrics and in the borders. Great job!

I think you all are right. I have seen the big quilts that just have the lines radiating out from the star.. I guess that is what I will go.. use the KISS method (keep it simple silly) sometimes we just get to many thoughts in our head!
I machine pieced the whole project.. it is much easier to do that than to hand piece.. I will keep the hand piecing to my Dear Janies that I am working on..LOL- oh and all the applique projects and quilting projects.. oh the dilemma so much to do and so little time!!

Thank you so much for posting the minis from your guild. It is very helpful to see them next to everyday quilting tools. You can really appreciate what it takes to make them.
Also I must have been sleeping,I just took a look at the Bridal Bouquet, it's absolutely gorgeous! Love the color!

Wow! I just spent over an hour going thru the blog, I really enjoyed the pictures. You definitely have some talented quilters making some great minis. The tiny baltimore album blew me away. I zoomed in on it and it is breathtaking. Thanks for sharing!
