Quilting the gray quilt

I finished pinning the Gray Fence Rail Star quilt I'm making for Bennett yesterday and did some anchoring quilting.  Now I'm working on the real quilting.
Using my walking foot, I'm outlining the star in each block and then quilting a star burst.  I'm not good at doing straight lines by eye, so I use painters tape.  I will leave the centers unquilted for now as I'm not sure what I'll do with them.  I'm thinking a star shape, perhaps free motioned through Golden Threads Quilting Paper.  Then, of course, there's the border to do.  But I'll ponder all that while I'm working on the individuals blocks.  Quilting - unless it turns frustrating - is quite a meditative activity.
