Introducing "Starshine & Rainbows"!
 
1 Attachment(s)
This is the first time I've posted any of my work -- I hope you like it:)

I wanted to learn paper-piecing so I found a bunch of "star" patterns (mostly at Quilters Cache) and just kept going. I love the rainbow brightness of the quilt. I'm trying to decide if I should sash them with a dark blue (like nighttime), or black (to make them really pop), or use a variety of the solids I used in the star blocks.

This was going to be a graduation gift for one of my nieces who has rec'd a scholarship to play Div A Soccer in college (she's our "star"), but I love it so much, I may not be able to part with it!:D

I love this. I can see why you can't part with it. Keep it. Any color you use will be beautiful. I think I would pick up a color from the quilt to sash . IMHO

Beautiful, colorful blocks! Any color you choose would go great with these blocks.

I'd do maybe 6" sections of each color you used in the quilt, sewn together, for the border, but instead of straight cuts, maybe do a diagonal cut for each one -- it would 'highlight' your beautiful stars. Gorgeous!

I love the bright colors. Such a happy quilt. Please show pictures when you are done.

Awesome blocks!!! I love bright colors with white!!! I like your dk blue idea for sashing. Show us again when you finish :)

Beautiful blocks! I would go with the dark blue sashing, keeping with the existing colors. That's just me, though. :)
