I can’t say I’m in love with these colors. So in order to make it work for me, I am going with symmetry. I feel that it is more restful for the eye.
The final two borders are busy. With the abundance of dark purple, I feel it acts as a good final border.
The wind was blowing, so it gives some movement and life. 
Taken from the backside, shooting right into the sun, you can see how perfect my quarter inch seams are. Accuracy is important to me. I’m not a machine, a very close inspection will show otherwise. But no one, and I mean no one will ever inspect this that closely. I doubt I’ll send this to the kind of show that does that. Quilts aren’t meant to be studied under a microscope. 
I did my usual spray basting, using wool batting. It is so much easier to move the quilt around with the wool batting. It really glides better, maybe because wool is so much lighter than cotton. Polyester is really plastic and no matter how soft it is, it just doesn’t glide.
Yes, I pieced the back, finally used up that Halloween fabric! There are some crimps and folds in the backing. I took this picture after using my walking foot to sew down the quilt in the ditch. Those crimps will be quilted over and once again, won’t detract from the quilt. This way I can no move over the quilt and work where ever I want, the distortions are in place, nothing else is moving.
Here I have done some background quilting, but haven’t touched the star yet.
Here I quilted the star and not the background. I am working with a very pale lavender thread, so I want to use it first, then I will go on to yellow and dark purple. I know, it’s a lot of intense quilting. I love all parts of the quilt, the cutting, the piecing and the quilting. Most of the quilting won’t be seen because of the busy prints. I don’t care, I love the quilting and enjoy the process.
