I finished piecing the top yesterday. I can't wait to quilt this for him, but I'm in the middle of replacing my leaders on my longarm and adding a zipper system, so it might not happen for a week or two.
The original pattern idea came from the book "Scrap Basket Surprises" and the quilt pattern is "Bali Sea Stars".
I added sashing and cornerstones to make the starts "float" and the outer black and ivory borders.
