I didn't understand why I couldn't do the quilt On-Point and with the lattice. Then I asked her how would be the best way to make those little squares for the border. She said she had no idea. I came on home. She wasn't much help bless her heart, but I appreciated her trying to help me.
I still really liked the layout though, so decided I'd just make it the way I wanted anyways and I'd figure out how to make the little squares and get them in the border. It was funny because I brought home one of my friends quilt block books to check out, and guess what was in it!!???! The pattern for EXACTLY what I wanted!! It was just a row of squares, on-point, about 4" wide! I couldn't believe it! That border was meant to be.
Here's a close up of the border squares that I used.

It's amazing how different the stars looked when turned on point. The finished quilt is beautiful, love the matching pillow.
I don't think the 1st layout was too busy. The subsequent ones seemed busier. If you use the extra blocks and do the 1st layout, I'll take the finished quilt :D
