I love, love, love it.

I like it!!!! I think it would make a fantastic quilt. I don't think it is extremely bold, just bright and makes a person happy looking at it. Keep on stitching, blocking, etc.....

I do that - using "tables" in Word 2010 - I think how big of a quilt I am planning - 9 square, 12 square, whatever - create a table for that many squares, then I can "paste" the size-reduced picture block in as many of the squares as I want, use color fill to color any plain blocks I want, and if I want to think about sashing or borders, I can add rows or columns and manipulate their size to see what it would look like. Its fun!! I have also typed a phrase in Word, reduced the size and pasted it into say the center block of the quilt to see what it would look like.

Beautiful....go for it!

I say do it! we all need to get out of our element sometimes and do something different. Even if it is using a different color.

So I say just do it!!! if you do not like it send it to me okay. Problem solved.

The blues and reds in this just fit!

Very pretty, as is. I wonder how it would look if you gave it a white sashing. I think it's beautiful without, but if you want to tone down the colors, that might help.

Try taking two mirrors corner to corner, like 2 sides of a box. Put your square in there. Might give you some idea.

What a beautiful quilt you'll have when you finish.

I use my Appleworks draw program. I just duplicate the block over and over and then play with arrangements. You can try out sashings as well.-Judy

I like the blue sashing - it allows the beauty of the stars to show better.
Good luck - Judy
