I have the alternate squares together and am finally starting the stars. I'm amazed by all of you that have the whole top done already! I had to make a trip to the fabric store for more gold and have to futz around with some of what I had for star centers. I took out one fabric with stripes, and another that was too close to a solid and stood out like a sore thumb. I added in more of the brights to try and balance things since my golds are pretty dark to brown overall.
I can't wait to get to the part where I can arrange it all and see how it's going to look!
