I might try PP. That way I could make star as big as I want. MY DD wants a quilt made with red/white/blue with star in center to use as a picnic blanket. Maybe I can talk her into a common star block with square block in center and flying geese making the 8 points. I cringe at the thought of quilt laying on grass but if
I make dark backing then you will not see the grass stains! A gift is a gift!!!!! Quilts are made to be used!!!!!
