I love it! I would be having a nervous breakdown from cutting it the first time! I'm sure I would be too scared to cut it again, but I'm a fairly new quilter and not confident in my abilities just yet. I would love to see another cut with white to make it pop, but personally, I would never take a rotary cutter to it again if it was mine! I'm pretty sure my luck wouldn't hold out twice, ha ha!

I like what you did! When I hated the 1600 quilt that I made I cut it into squares and sashed them, but yours is so much more original.

It's gorgeous JUST the way it is, but if you do change it update us as I'd love to see the next version!! :)

According to the gal who coordinates this locally, you can not have golden stars - those indicate death. But I will remember that idea if I ever get sucked into doing one of these again for another cause - lol!!

I like it just the way it is! Looks great.
You certainly could try other cuts, but I don't think they are necessary.

I love it!! I do like Jan's idea of adding stars. Great job!

RavenLunaStitch - I figured I had nothing to loose. But It is currently hanging over the railing upstairs and I can see it from the living room. It is growing on me just the way it is. Also - the is a size limit to QOVs and I will already have to trim it I think.

To everyone else - thanks for your input. It is great to have so many wonderful quilters at the ready for opinions!!
