playswithcolor, Look at all those neutral squares! Wow! It looks nice without the yellow. (I made my yellow really pale to try to blend it in.) Good work, there! :-)
Kassaundra, I'm too lazy to read the instructions how to make a blog entry that's associated with a name. When I send a private message I just see you can read articles and blogs that the person has written. I'd be more likely to remember you made the tutorial rather than go looking for it on a thread.

Playswithcolour - I too love what you have done with your quilt! The stars and colours really stand out against your neutrals - It is very striking!! I'm not much of a fan of too much bright or contrasting yellows and as I am just starting, I am also struggling with getting a more blended look when picking my fabrics.

playswithcolor - the green stars really shine in your layout. Love it!
belfreybat - very nice! Thanks for showing the green border strip. That's what I'm thinking about doing.
ddtrina - you may want to try changing color in a pattern that you know, not a mystery quilt. Or try some of the mystery quilt trains here on the board. I believe there's one about every month. I think justjan runs them. The smaller projects can build up your confidence quickly, and the encouragement on the board is fantastic.

Here's where I quit. Just not a great fan of the original pattern. I'm thinking of using the same finish as belfreybat, a small green strip with a row of neutral 4-patches.
