    I am making these stars and can't decide whether to border each one with something or just put them all together. Any ideas?

    I would go with no sashing inbetween blocks. I like the black background. It makes the stars twinkle!! Just my opinion. The blocks are BEAUTIFUL!

    I too like the stars on the black just as you have them laid out. You do such beautiful work!

    Another vote for no sashing. The simple black background really makes the stars pop. You're doing a great job! :thumbup:

    I like it without but it might be neat with black sashing that forms a star with the cornerstones. I will see if I can find a picture of what I am talking about.


    This is sort of what I was talking about, but not on point just look at the sashing
