Hi! I've been lurking for a few weeks and decided I should ask for a little help. I'm currently working on my first quilt. I took a hand piecing (and a hand piecing) class about a month ago and have been working on piecing the squares. I learned the "Ohio Star" square in my class and found a layout online that I liked to go with the Ohio Star http://crazymomquilts.blogspot.com/2...ng-week-1.html
Instead of the different types of stars, I figured I would use the Ohio Star for all of the star blocks and an off-white/green setting square.
I have completed 6 of each type of block...and laid them out earlier. I am thinking the colors don't really work (the off-white with the darkness of the other block). I haven't done any of the sashing strips...so maybe that will help tie it all together. What do you think? Should I rethink the setting squares?

Thanks in advance!!!

I'm thinking that sashing the Ohio Stars in the lighter fabric and the Puss in the Corner blocks (I think that's the name?) with the darker tan may work.
I think you've done a wonderful job!!!!!!!
Sorry if my advice is wrong, I'm fading here lol

Looks good to me. I love the sashing idea.

The blocks look great! Nice work! Keep going!

I wouldn't add sashing. It'll ruin the diagonal pattern the chain blocks make. The lower left corner of the middle block on the right is turned wrong.
