My Star Big Block is quilted -
FINALLY! -
You can hardly see the quilting at all -
Unless I show you the photos that I took -
Before I took it off the frame -
- A free-form "orange-peel" flower in the BLUE FLORAL center square -
- "Orange-peel" arcs in the BLUE FLORAL center star points -
- Curved arcs in the BLUE FLORAL outer points -
- Lazy-8s/Wishbones in the GREEN rectangles -
- Pebbles in the GREEN parts of the Flying Geese -
- Back-and-forth wavy lines in the GOLD Flying Geese & small triangles -
- A "teardrop" shape with echoed lines in the corner GREEN sections -
- Echoed straight lines in the GOLD corners -
And I learned a LOT doing this one -
- Plan ahead and don't wait to decide what to quilt after it's loaded -
- Use a thread that blends in - to hide your boo-boos -
- Slow down if you want to stitch curves - or be prepared for "wonky" -
- Don't try to "make it up as you go along" - that does not end well - LOL -
All in all - it's OK -
And the best part is -
It's QUILTED - ;))
Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -

LOL.... Your "don'ts" are my normal way of quilting. I almost always "make it up as I go" I almost never plan the quilting ahead of time.
I do slow down a bit to prevent wonky or large stitches, though.
I think it looks good. Congrats.
Great job that is finished and beautiful!
Quilted is the best. And this was a good practice for a lot of designs. But I tend to do curves faster or they get wonky!
Excellent work! Congratulations.
