All Four Stars Completed

Although the process reminded me why I prefer applique over piecing, I finished all four feathered stars and joined them to make the center section.

I drew out my corner design as well. The center is obviously symmetrical but there will be an applique design in only one corner with a fancy feather quilted border on the remaining section of the border. Although I started off thinking of using the Christmas card design, what I drew evolved into a white dove sitting on a mixed branch of holly and ivy with some small berries. So this will be a Christmas design but not the usual type of Christmas design.
