"Carpenter's Star" by Julie

Julie is a "new to me" customer, and brought me this lovely quilt top which will be a wedding gift for her grandson and his bride to be.  We talked about how to quilt it, our conversation sounding something like "maybe some feathers in the stars, and a different feather in the black." 
She chose a thread called "Mercury" for the colored blocks which was perfect as it blends with all the colors.  Then the same type of thread in black for the background.

Continuous curves in the diamonds at the top and bottom borders, molar feathers in the star blocks, and traditional longarm feathers in the background.  I am not sure what Julie was expecting, but based on her tone of voice when she saw it initially, she was quite pleased with the results.  I am sure that this will be a family heirloom for this new family.
