I've also seen the star with straight line quilting but the fins on the wheels with half a feather, which gives it more movement. Lots of possibilities! Well done!<br /><br />http://www.busyneedle.chAllisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09458341169251653916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711590508857090616.post-38074558927526703822014-01-14T19:29:09.150-07:002014-01-14T19:29:09.150-07:00Thanks so much - I'm really loving it, too.

I like that idea. The straight lines would contrast the circular design of the wheel helping to emphasis the star. I'll have to add that to the growing list of suggestions.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09458341169251653916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711590508857090616.post-26083305601467607262014-01-08T15:08:07.937-07:002014-01-08T15:08:07.937-07:00Thanks for stopping by.

I hope to emphasis it somehow, just not sure how. I think I need to do as another commentor stated in making sure I have a contrast to how I quilt the star and how I quilt the wheel.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09458341169251653916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711590508857090616.post-16454469135802173862014-01-08T15:04:11.865-07:002014-01-08T15:04:11.865-07:00Hi Shannon--Thanks for hosting a new Linky Party. ...Hi Shannon--Thanks for hosting a new Linky Party.

It really is a super simple paper piecing--only 4 fabrics in each piece with no crazy or weird angles, etc. When you do finally try it out, I'd love to see it.

If you want, in the diamond area you could start at the center and drive feather plumes down the seamline. The plumes would set apart from the swirl you're doing in the wheel portion of the block. Also, thanks for sharing your link on Modern Tradition Quilts--this was my very first time hosting a linky party and I'm delighted you participated!
