I would like your opinions. I don't know exactly how to plan for a star quilt. I am just starting so I don't have a stash. I really don't want to have to commit to purchasing a bunch of fabric. I was thinking of doing red, white, blue or even just different reds, as red it my favorite color. I'm worried that if I would buy fabric as I go that I may not like my finished quilt. Help ease my mind, please? What do you think I should do? :?

I'm using one color for the background and I'm hoping FQ's for the stars

Why don't you browse the board pictures or Google images for star samplers or star quilts and see which look you like best?

I forgot to say, that I am planning a twin size quilt with this BOM, I am going to make two blocks each month, then make one extra block for a total of 25 blocks, then set them on point with sashing and add a couple of borders. I have one yard of a focal fabric that I will try to use sparingly(can't find more), then I have four 2-yard blenders that I will use for the stars, and a four-yard piece for the sashing and setting blocks. As we go, I may change color placements, not sure, but I'd like to end up with a twin size quilt. But also, I don't mind shopping and storing fabric :mrgreen:
