This top is made from swap blocks in another group I belong to. The theme was to swap brights with Kona black, and they had to be a star block. Each of the stars measures 8" square.

Because each of the blocks are so bright, I wanted to add a bright border around each block and I grabbed the bright green and bright orange. Then, it was still a bit small for me, so I took some white on white fabric, and added a 6.5" (unfinished) border.

For the backing, I'm cutting the remaining green fabric and some more of the WOW. Each of the girls who did the blocks made a small siggie block. The siggies are going to be framed in white, then with the remaining orange fabric around. I'm still working on the label.

I'm going to be stippling the quilt probably in bright orange or lime green. DH thinks white.

What color do you think I should quilt it? Green, Orange, White?

Quilt Top completed - please excuse the bed. The top left block is the one I made
