Veronica, I think FQ would be easiest to work with.
Candi, I do want to make time this weekend to look at other star quilts. I've seen some quilts with black sashing and borders and they were stunning! Not sure if that is the way I would go but just a thought.
Stephanie, I do looovve red! I think it would be a neat study in using one color but different patterns and textures. Maybe that is the way I'll go.
Thanks for all your input. I just needed some reassuring! :thumbup:
