well, the lone star is finally finished. it needs a cold water dip to get rid of the quilting marks, but otherwise it's a finish. this is the second one i've made, both were made by hand. this one didn't come out as well as the other and i sort of lost enthusiasm for it near the end. regardless of the outcome, there is a lot of work here so it'll get hung up on the wall as it's not entirely displeasing to the eye but again, not at all blue ribbon status. no matter. it's an accomplishment and that's better than leaving it or flinging it incompleted. my quilting goal never was to be absolutely perfect, only to enjoy the process and the result.

Very pretty! I have an unfinished one somewhere in my stash so have to agree with your statement that finished is best.
