SheriR, Those colors are beautiful and will make a wonderful quilt. I think it looks great!
PaintmeJudy, I've been making all my background stars 4" and 5" too. Makes it a lot easier to square up if you put the extra to the outside edge.
Mad Mimm, You aren't behind at all. We are still in the first week, which is Alabama. You've got lots of time.
LDB, Both sound beautiful! Congratulations on doing two sets.
