These are beautiful. I, too, like it without the border points. The points really make the stars stand out. Thank you for showing the difference. It has been on my bucket list since the first time I saw it. I think it should be the next one I make. What size did you make yours? How difficult was it? I am a self-taught quilter of beginning skill. Did you use a special pattern, or the one on Quilter's Cache? Any special tips?
