Shooting Star Foundation Quilt

So, I took a class from Janette Barker at Heartfelt Creations so that I could learn how to do foundation piecing. I would explain what it is, but it's something that's easier to show than tell. Anyways, here is the block that we learned how to make. It's a foundation pieced tulip that i'm pretending is a shooting star.
We made 20 of those, which took a whole lot of time and paper, but eventually I managed to put it all together and got this...
Here is a closeup of the border fabric, which I am absolutely in love with.
I am currently working on figuring out how to quilt using my sewing machine instead of by hand. As soon as I feel comfortable with that method, I plan on quilting it this way. P.S. Here's a pic of Bree's square, which is freakishly cute!
