If I made this quilt I would be happy with it. It's a great design.
I would be happy to share my honest opinion of what I would learn from making this quilt. The center square fabric is a too busy print for star centers. The white star points do not have the focus factor next to the background. The border print is too busy and competes with the center squares. I think a narrow white inner border with a wider pink outer border would balance the quilt better then the dark wide border.

Hi Janice,
I think the quilt is really pretty. Do you have any more of the rust color? I think if you placed a border of that on the outside it would give the piece a more grounded feeling.
