Stars and Moonbeams
 
 
    This quilt is the result of requests for a yearlong block-of-the-month class. The students wanted a project that would teach technique, beginning with the simple and moving toward more challenging blocks. Some of the blocks were already in the Electric Quilt software, and some I drew. I'm quite sure I learned more than the workshop participants because there are stars on the back that I opted out of teaching! As my students' stars progressed I began gaining confidence in my own abilities so I decided I had to take the time to do intricate machine quilting to stretch myself and to attain a goal of becoming good enough to teach machine quilting. What a thrill when this quilt received "Best Machine Quilting" in Seaside Piecemakers' 2000 show!
