I am making a quilt for SIL and she wants purple so my plan is: the center is 50 X50, I will add a section of star points in the reverse color purple as main color and red accent colors, then a border of the purple floral and if I need an overhang I will make star blocks using the floral purple as center and star points from the other fabrics finishing with a purple border of some type. The pattern is Aspen Feathered Star from Fon's and Porter's Love of Quilting Sept/Oct 2008

That's lovely - I usually don't think of red and purple together, but you sure made it work!

Nice calming beige really balances the bright center. Looking good!

And the quilt plot thickens! Do you know where you are going from here? G

I never cease to be amazed at how each additional fabric in a design creates a whole new look...such fun...and so pretty!

The next section will be star 'arms'/ points in the reverse color- a medium purple center with light purple and pink/red half squares on the outside. I will either use the yellow background or a cream with a hint of purple. A border will follow of the triangles, not sure of colors and then I will see what size and if I need more or not. I have a pattern for star blocks thatt are similar to the large star I will use those for overhang if needed.
