The blocks are gorgeous. You might consider a dark, dark green for sashing with the gold cornerstones.

I personally would like to see some of that lovely peachy color brought out of your star square.
What I would do is sash with that peach but add the chain blocks to the corners of the sashing so that it is not interrupted. It would only need to be a narrow sash and one of the green blocks to carry thru the chain. |
I think your green should be brighter shade to give more constrast.
|
I especially like the fussy cut in the center of the star. I don't think the 9 patch is too dark. The combination of the 2 blocks looks very good to me.

I think it does work. For sashing I would choose another color from your focus fabric. Keep going and it will be beautiful.

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 think it is beautiful just the way it is. Keep on going, it is going to be a gorgeous quilt. You are doing a great job and just have fun with it.

So far it works

Looks great !! Hello from Western Mountain Maryland !! :-D :thumbup: :thumbup: |
