Update #2

Yay! I got the center all quilted. Each star was outline quilted with the red thread. I decided that since this is a simple man's quilt, I wanted humble quilting so in the other blocks I just did great big x's. I love the way this is turning out. The back is a homespun green check and the red quilting on it looks great.
Next are the borders. Hope I can get them done. My elbows are killing me but I think I can work through it! Off to see what everyone else is up to!

    Oh boy - I love this! I think that you were absolutely right to avoid swirly girly quilting for this one.

    The contrast of the red thread against the back is fab. I've used more of a blending thread for my quilting - if I was more confident, I would have used made it more striking, as yours is.
