Lone Star fabric advice
I am planning a Lone Star variation using many shades and colors of semisolid fabric. I vaguely remember hearing or reading advice about what to use for the center, something about too light (or was it too dark?) looking like a hole in the middle of the quilt. Does anyone know if it is true? Thank you.

Look at some of these and see what appeals to you. I think I'd prefer a darker center.

I went back and looked at the two I made and I made each with a darker centre. It was just visually pleasing to me. I think it made the centre more solid to me...I'm sure I had some sort of reason when I laid out my fabrics.

Sue,
I am so impressed by those of you who make these tiny little quilts, but that is almost overridden by the question: "Why? Are y'all crazy?!!" Lands a mercy!!!
