Swirling Stars (UFO #11) has moved from my UFOs/WIPs list to Finished UFOs.
My goal was to finish it by end of February. That didn't happen due to delayed thread order.
The thread was finally delivered on March 25!

It took me some time to decide how to quilt this one. Simple FMQ (Free-Motion-Quilting) is the easiest and fastest, but it doesn't always 'fit' a quilt.
For this one, I went for custom quilting each block. I didn't have a plan fully in my head when I started, it was like 'quilt it as you go and see what happens' on the first big block. I liked how the first block turned out, but knew it would take some hours quilting all the blocks.
The small HSTs are outlined.
I don't remember when I purchased this 108" wide backing. I find it perfect for this colorful quilt.
The binding is red and white gingham.
