Here are some close ups of the Dancing Star Quilt showing the hand quilted echo quilting around the stars, the cable in the border and the outline quilting in the sashing. I've realized how many of my quilts have cables-I think that cables are my "default" quilting design-I do like the motion that cables have.
When I wanted the little triangles in the corners of the star blocks, I used the easy method of laying a square on the corner and sewing on the diagonal and then trimming. I used the leftover little half square triangles to get a jump start on this little Flying Geese quilt.

That is a great idea about using those little corner snips. I have a baggie full of them, and was figuring I would make something eventually. Your geese look great. AND your handquilting is wonderful. I love the motion of cables too. :-)
Beautiful work, Miri! I love the red and white quilts, especially the vintage designs. I found an old tied red and white drunkard's path quilt this summer at an antique shop and it is one of my most prized possesions.
Miri, beautiful quilting, I wish I your talent. Enjoyed the Vintage Thursday,too.
Looks wonderful. You do a beautiful job. Clever too.
