Maverick Stars top done, and a quilting pattern

This went together fairly quickly, once I focused --it was started MONTHS ago! The original inspiration is from Quiltville.com. It's 60 x 68 inches, and I'm searching through piles of fabric looking for a backing. My photo is a little murky - it's brighter in person. Despite all the little pieces, when it was finished I was only 1/8 in. off along the top/bottom. That's a record for me!


Mary of Heartstring Quilts posted this MQ pattern that gives good texture for busy quilts and I wanted to give it a try.
This was a "quick and dirty" quilting effort on my take-to-class machine, so the stitches are not good, but the texture is interesting. This might be the pattern I do on the Maverick Stars.
It's 95 degrees today, and tomorrow the HIGH is supposed to be 65! My word!
