I think a dark purple sashing would look nice.

thiblebug6000 has a wonderful idea. I'm going to share this info with our quilting group. We have a block of the month drawing. The border is a perfect solution to the squares not all being the same.

I think I would try putting the reddish purple blocks more concentrated in the center - though I don't mean to mess with your initial layout. Slightly darker purple or green sashing - and I love tb6000's idea for squaring up. How about more reddish purple for cornerstones? You have such great blocks to work with!

oh yes to the sashing, I would go for either purple with green cornerstones, or visa versa, and use the darkest color in the quilt for the out side border and binding to frame it, (like a picture frame does a picture) very nice blocks!

Thank you everyone. Your ideas are great. I do like the idea of the 2 different colors bordering the blocks and squaring things up. I did consider a black sashing, laid one out but it was just too much. I knew I wanted to go either purple or green but just didn't know how much or how dark. I think I am going to use batiks in those colors, thinking it will pull everything together. cwessel47 I have changed those blocks probably 5 times since I posted that picture and do like the more reddish ones toward the center. Cornerstones I need to think about. It just seems that every time I use them, I am not really happy with them. Maybe this time it will work for me. I'm sure I'll be changing my mind every time I look at it for the next week. I need to get it done all ready tough because I would like to have it ready for our quilt show in June. Thanks again everyone for your help. Everyone still reading, please give me your opinions. It is not written in stone yet, other than I'd like the sashing in batiks. Great help, thanks

So any good ideas, but I think my favorite is the idea in the photo by thimblebug. It would solve a couple of problems and frame each of the stars. The blocks are very pretty and almost anything would be fantastic. Don't forget to post a photo of the finished quilt.
