I'm using all my 30's scraps of fabric. off to the sewing room to get another block made.

Thanks again.

Thanks for the name of the block, I have the book so I am good to go!

I think the stars will show off better with sashing! Just my opinion!!!!

That pattern is so pretty! I too would add sashing to each block..... they're so pretty they should all be showcased. Can you share the pattern?

Thanks - I have that book, will have to dig it out and find that block. Really do love it

They are stunning. I would leave the sashing off.

I agree with Coral. Sashing will emphasize the individual stars.

This may be a hard decision for you but play with different colors, the background fabric, or no sashing at all. You may surprise yourself. Your blocks are beautiful. Please show us tour trip to completion.
