dcoutant Tropical Stars - My Dad lives in Florida, so I wanted something "cool" for the hot climate. The pastel fabric was perfect, and I was going through a "star" phase. When I found the palm tree fabric I knew it was meant to finish this top, and thus came the name Tropical Stars. The free motion quilting in the border was my first attempt at that, so although not great, it is definately "handmade", and helped me imporve my skills.
