Starburst Spools

 My quilt top for the DQS14 is finished!

I think this might be the most challenging quilt I've ever made.
The pattern is adorable (Starburst Spools by Charise Creates) -- but getting all of those seams to line up was quite a difficult task!!!  And since it's a quilt I'm sending to someone, I couldn't bear for it to not be perfect (or at least close to perfect)!
This little quilt measures 15 x 15 inches.
Now I just need to figure out how to quilt it. . . 
I'm thinking about hand quilting the center starburst, and then free motion quilting a small design in the white background, so that the spools really pop.  If you have other advice, though, please share!!!
