I wanted to learn paper-piecing so I found a bunch of "star" patterns (mostly at Quilters Cache) and just kept going. I love the rainbow brightness of the quilt. I'm trying to decide if I should sash them with a dark blue (like nighttime), or black (to make them really pop), or use a variety of the solids I used in the star blocks.
This was going to be a graduation gift for one of my nieces who has rec'd a scholarship to play Div A Soccer in college (she's our "star"), but I love it so much, I may not be able to part with it!
Very nice. Love the colors, I too like stars. Stars are fun and this quilt top looks like a lot of fun. I think I would use a color from your top, but not one that you used a lot - like the green. It would make your green pop. But I also think you could make this quilt the same colors and stars the same 50 times and use a different color sash each time and it would ALWAYS look different. Good luck - I would have a hard time giving it away too.
