My thoughts too. Without a light sashing, will the points touch when put together? You've created some beautiful blocks for a fortunate kiddo.

What you have going is great! I do like this idea a lot though. Lucky child either way.

I really like this idea of using the same colour sashing as the background, but probably would not have thought of it.

Stunning, just stunning! I'm sure whatever you decide, it will be wonderful. Please show off the finished quilt!

I absolutely agree....narrow black sashing

Beautiful quilt. I think sashing would showcase each star and make them stand out.

Love it, either way. Great job.

I like the idea of a black sashing around the stars. You can cut some strips & lay them between the blocks, stand back & review it & see what a sashing would look like before you sew it on. It's going to be a beautiful quilt. Anything with stars is a favorite of mine.
