Texas Star quilt

The owner of this quilt and I lovingly call this quilt "the Monster".  It's 100" x 110" and seem HUGE compared to others!  It's paper pieced!  The block is called Texas Star from the book "50 Fabulous Paper Pieced Stars" by Carol Doak.  The owner, Cathy, wanted LOTS of feathers and McTavishing (the background filler by the stars).  I used invisible thread around the stars and on the 'teepees' on the border.  The rest was quilted with Superior's King Tut thread and Hobbs 80/20 batting.  To say I enjoyed doing the feathers and McTavishing is putting it mildly -- I loved it!!!!
