I really like the double star, I don't think I've seen that before. Sorry can't help with the quilting part.

The star blocks are each 12" with the border at 3" (finished). I have enough of the blue fabric for the backing. And the red would be cute for the binding and echo quilting is maybe all it needs....Thanks! :D

Sometimes I tend to "over think" things.... :roll:

I think your plan is right on, and it's sure to be a 'hit'! :lol:

I love the footprint quilting idea, and I think a red binding would finish this off perfectly! Well done!

Good thinking to leave it at the one border. I did one similar to that and put a small first border in red, a second in blue, and should have stopped there because I put a third in the lighter color I used and hated it. I ended up putting a small blue binding after that and said "good enough".

Yours is very cute.

Great quilt! It looks great with just the one border. You do nice work, he's going to love it.

The blue making a big friendship star is a great design feature. Cleverly done!
