I really like the double star, I don't think I've seen that before. Sorry can't help with the quilting part.

The star blocks are each 12" with the border at 3" (finished). I have enough of the blue fabric for the backing. And the red would be cute for the binding and echo quilting is maybe all it needs....Thanks! :D

Sometimes I tend to "over think" things.... :roll:

I think your plan is right on, and it's sure to be a 'hit'! :lol:

I love the footprint quilting idea, and I think a red binding would finish this off perfectly! Well done!

Good thinking to leave it at the one border. I did one similar to that and put a small first border in red, a second in blue, and should have stopped there because I put a third in the lighter color I used and hated it. I ended up putting a small blue binding after that and said "good enough".

Yours is very cute.
