The original thought when I started was to have a Single Huge Star in the Middle, but after sewing the 4 squares that make up a unit, I realized that I would need to make 548 units, I will not live long enough to make all those! So I sat and looked at the pattern and decided how to make it "Easier", So I had a ton of left over squares (4 to make one unit) and desided to put it as the border. it's 1/2 of a unit, then wanted to make the border pop so I added the coordinating border.
The Bride and Groom LOVED the quilt. They were so excited!! I knew they would the Bride has been begging me for a quilt! for a few years.
Thank you
