The star would be more pronounced with a very light alternate block between the stars.

Oh boy, that is just beautiful! I love what the "helpers" did with photoshop. you might have already gotten this suggestion, but here I go with my two cents worth. Does this block lend itself to sashing? I could picture a darker royal or navy blue, perhaps a tone on tone to give it some depth. Whatever you do, it will be beautiful. If you don't like it, you can always give it to me LOL...

I agree with everyone--it is beautiful and would be a shame if you did not continue now that we all had a glimpse! I prefer the two suggestions without the sashings. But, whatever you choose will be a stunner!

That is a beautiful block. The colors don't seem too bold to me. An older quilt-making lady told me to make qults in bolder colors as they stay true longer. This was 40 years ago, and fabrics have changed, but I still hold to that rule.
