"If this doesn't work, it is in the book Borders and Finishing Touches II."
Doesn't the pattern in this book have lots more stars in it? It called for a "bazillion" fat quarters - one for each color. I remember seeing it done on an old Alex Anderson show. I couldn't afford to that one.
I got a kit at a quilt show for about $100. It had smaller pieces for each color. The directions were a bit off though! I have half of it done. It has been on my UFO stack for too long. Your beautiful wall hanging sets a fire under me to finish mine.
Good luck - yours deserves a ribbon.
