One stitch at a time!! I've been conquering the beast slowly but surely.
I'm taking all of your wonderful advise and settled for a straight stitch in the (hardest, darnedest, and most stubborn) middle section.
And winding a heart vine around the edge border. Now I"m pecking away at the binding. Then I have to finish the bed skirt and the shams, and viola! new bedding! but then, I'll have to paint the room, maybe get new carpet, redesign the headboard, maybe strip the nightstands, probably have to buy new fabric for the curtains, ahhhh, life is and endless banquet of possibilities!!
in the meantime, I whipped up a table top for my girlfriend, Brennie, her and I have been best of friends since we were in Jr High cheerleading together, (we cheered the dinosaurs it was so long ago,,,tee hee)
what could be more fitting than a friendship star? low contrast, soft colors, and sweet. Just like my Brennie!Hope all your friendships are sweet!

Great title to your post!! You are doing a wonderful job. How are your shoulders? When I use to quilt those big ones my shoulders would just ache!!! Nice riendship star and a very lucky friend. Thanks for visiting my way and I am going to add you to my bloglist!
I agree, the middle section of a big quilt is a killer. You're right to take it slowly! The fabrics are lovely together. That print with the green leaves really brings the whole thing to life.
i really admire what you are able to do with quilts!
