The only thing that was added are the beads on the stars as I was hand quilting. It is a slow process doing it that way, but it sure gives this quilt a lot of sparkle. A lot of beads were used here and my stash has been somewhat reduced.
This whole quilt has been hand pieced (that is where the pattern directions got changed), but if I was to do it all over again, English Paper Piecing is the way that I would go.Enjoy and have a great day!

Gorgeous Rose Marie....
Rose Marie, I saw this when you posted it. I really wanted to leave a comment that was worthy and fit "just so" but I wasn't able to pull up anything from within. Now though, now I'm more than able to share. This is a stunning work of art and reflects YOU so well. The added touch of beads speaks of your inner light. It just shines through. Delicately sparkling.
It looks beautiful, like sparkling jewels. Great finish!
Wow, it is beautiful. Did you make it this autumn?
