Isn't it aggravating that you can "see" things after the project is complete that didn't appear before when you could have changed them? I love the quilt but would have put a slightly darker grey on for a border to frame the quilt.

I think it is too bold....

I did about the same thing but a border on and now I don't know to take if off or not.. Good Luck.

Just a thought, maybe consider using a tea bath when it is finished to dim the blue and bring it all together?

I like it.

For me, the border immediately drew my eyes away from those gorgeous blocks. I think instead of framing the blocks, your border overwhelms them.
Beautiful work!

Beautiful. Leave it AS IS ,draws your eyes to the stars.

The border immediately draws your eyes to the frame. I think it minimizes the effect of the blocks.
