What about surrounding each block with a border, light for the stars and dark for the Puss In the Corner BUT----with corner squares of the right colors to keep the continuity of the diagonal squares???????

Good as it is and you will loose the pattern with sashing.

She won't lose the diagonal pattern is she uses cornerstones of the same color in the sashing

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!!!

Initially I feel the off-white stands out. Perhaps a softer version of the blue in the middle square of the star. Just a thought.

I don't see any problem. The light block lets the dark block stand out and visea-versa. Good work!!!! Keep going. I think you will like it when you get done. Be sure to post the finished photo.
