I took the class personally from Eleanor Burns for this quilt/pattern, which made it even more fun to make the first time, and, you are right...it is easy, so I have made it several times now.
I think the yellow around it is great, and I remember some of the completed quilts she showed us in the class had a different color border strip than what was used in the rest of the quilt, too. It makes the stars stand out even more. Thanks for sharing. It's beautiful.
