Great job Christina, I'm sure the Cafe owners are going to love it! Sorry I'm
not much good at the quilting part myself.

'Tis a lovely batch of stars you have there Christina :-) and the Braced
Star came out very well.

If it were mine to finish, and it needed to be done fast, I'd slap on
the old walking foot and do a diagonal grid. First corner to corner
through the blocks then spaced however looks best. A wall hanging that
won't be washed so very often can be quilted a bit farther apart than a
kid's lovey blankie. What spacing does your batting package recommend?

If you want to get a teeny bit fancier, do the grid just in the blocks
and then do a diagonal, parallel lines thing in the border, maybe a bit
closer together than your inner grid but not a lot.

That's beautiful, Christina! I don't have any inspiration for you about the
quilting, but I just wanted to say that I love it.

It's lovely Christina.
As to quilting it? I would do each block separately (as they are
different) and I think I would choose a simple star - something like a
Le Moyne Star or and Ohio Star, and use that as the quilting design.
Whichever fitted the block best. I very much like using block pattern
outlines for quilting designs.

I'd stitch in the ditch and then do some echo quilting.

Taking a hint from the sashing corner stars, I'd quilt one large 5
pointed star in each block. Then for the sashing and borders I would
use smaller 5 point stars separated by either a straight or curvy
line. Somewhat like this: }{-------}{------}{ or }{~~~~~}{~~~~~}{
