I would also suggest taking it to the fabric store. They will each look differently and that way you could see which one adds that POP to it and how it changes with each one. Your star looks pretty so far.... I am partial to stars.

ANY suggestions and/or photos of fabric idea are welcome.

I've tried all the fabrics I currently have in stock and nothing looks good. :cry:

Thanks to all for your suggestions. Guess I'll be heading to the fabric store with my star in hand!

I think all of the suggestions so far would work. I would concentrate on sky blue, probably a small pattern that is random or curvy. Nothing geometric. This is going to be a great quilt; I can't wait to see it finished.
