    I have this just laid out. I've changed it and changed it. I think I have it, but any suggestions before it's to late. I invite any ideas, if anyone thinks one block would look better someplace else????? Speak now or forever zip your lips......

    looks great, but if I changed anything, imho, I would take the upper right center row star and switch it, and same with the lower right center star...it'll be sort of mirror for the left side...make sense?

    just switch the light and dark on the top and bottom stars? Sorry I'm confused...doesn't take much

    How about these changes?

    I'm not sure what you mean, esqmommy.

    Well, anyway, I'm not sure what you would want to change - it looks random and really nice. I love those stars...aren't they great?

    Thanks Ducky. I hope esqmommy can get it through my head what she meant, because I do encourage outside ideas. (the 2nd pic is different) I found this pattern from "Quick & Easy Quilting Magazine" June 2002.(online a free pattern) It's a Nine-Patch & Four-Patch Stars - It is supposed to be very random colors, very country with various blues, tans and reds. The border is supposed to be pieced reds, then blues, with more stars around the border. First though I want to make sure I have it set up the way I want before I start sewing. Maybe I will wait until next weekend before doing anything definate.

    I love a random look. It's very attractive. ARe those wonky stars?

    Tarib---I liked the more random placement of the stars in your first picture than in the second one. I think your layout is wonderful and I cannot wait to see it with borders on it too.
