PeriWink, thanks! It looks a lot better the right way, lol.
Kassaundra, I'm not intending the star blocks to have white centers. I have a few ideas in my head about the block centers, and will start experimenting as soon as I'm done with the clue #5 HST units. Of course, I'll also try it with the solid centers -- maybe I will love it.
Thanks, sewbizgirl. I don't think I've ever had as much fun in quilting as I'm having right now working with these units. What a cool and wonderful quilt this is! I'm really getting into these neutrals -- I think I'm a convert to the Bonnie neutral concept. The more you put up, the more balanced it looks. So glad I let loose!
