A Quality Star Quilt: What To Look For When Buying

 Is the very center of the star flat, with no "volcano" effect?

Do the points of the 8 large diamonds meet in the center of the star correctly?

Do the small diamonds in the star all match up point-to-point?

Is there a minimum of puckers or creases in the seams of the quilt?

Are seams tight and finished in the quilt, or are there loose seams or unsewn areas?

Is the batting smooth, with no lumps or thin places?

Does the backing have a minimum of puckers?

Is there a good binding on the quilt?
