That's a great-looking quilt. I'm thinking of a scrappy version with the stars and border in one color, the churn dashes in another, and the background and four patches scrappy.

I’m good at choosing fabrics/colors for my quilts. I’m bad at being creative. I’d much rather follow a pattern. I’m more a technician than an artist.
