I started with a yard of a couple of background cream fabrics that were very close in colour but one had a pattern and one was plain. The coloured fabrics were fat quarters in rust- rose, yellow- gold, sage-lt.green. I collected 12 inch star patterns I liked and used fabric scraps from my stash where needed. I think the yellow star fabric and last border were 3 yards and the green sashing 2 yards. I wish I could tell you more but it was about 6 years ago and the details are kind of sketchy.
