Thanks for all your encouragement. I really didn't like the star before the borders, but REALLY don't like the last border. I'm going to take it off and then try something else. I don't have any extra fabric from the star, but will look for something to tone it down a little bit. By the way, it is photographed on my king-size bed, so it is BIG. Maybe that's what I don't like..... Who knows!
