Thank you for your input,, quilty friends. My goal is to complete the quilt as the groom's mother intended. I have begun putting the finished pieced together and it is lovely, I will post a photo when the rows are all sewn together. She was such a wonderful quilter and had such a gift of color. I have begun making the stars with some pieces that were cut but not assembled but goodness adding the background pieces is scaring the socks off me. Thank you all, again.
