It is entirely machine quilted. I used the new walking foot and did a basic outline around each star. I am pretty happy with that part. There are a few puckers on the back, but overall it's OK for a table runner.
I even sewed the binding on by machine.
That part was a total flop.
This runner is almost six feet long and I was trying to save time by using the machine. Big mistake. If I could do it over, I would spend the extra hours hand sewing the binding to the backside.
It looks OK from the front,but the back is pretty awful. There are spots where I missed sewing the binding completely for an inch or so.When I use it I will have to pin it down to the tablecloth so nobody can pick it up and look at the backside!

I never have good luck sewing binding on completely by machine -- I can't seem to manage to catch both sides evenly.
Re the New York Beauties - they are a snap if you paper piece them. I would never have tried them otherwise.
Cheers.
