QUOTE=quiltin-nannie;5958852]I like the first one....the beige color picks up the beige in the blocks and really makes the stars pop. IMHO the other one is too busy and takes away from your stars.[/QUOTE]


My thoughts as well...

Option A makes your star just shine, and you can do lots of fancy quilting in it that really will show

Ohmygosh! That is breathtakingly beautiful! Both of them are lovely, but I think if I were only doing one, I'd go for the top one. It is more formal; the second one is more playful.

I love Option A. Makes the stars POP.

The colors in your quilt are beautiful!

Absolutely beautiful! I like the first one also with the beige

I like them both but my final answer is 2

If the fabrics are showing up true to color, I like the first one better. That being said, I tend to like more of the calm colors in my quilts. Good luck. You can quilt whatever you chose to quilt on any fabric!

By so doing you create a continuation of color and give an opportunity to complement the star. Maybe, even a multi-shaded thread in a thirty weight. Could you use the pretty bubble fabric in the binding?

I agree with the above, as well. That print (bubbles on white) would look great as a binding or narrow border, I think. Stick with option B for the space in between your star points.
