    I love it! I would be having a nervous breakdown from cutting it the first time! I'm sure I would be too scared to cut it again, but I'm a fairly new quilter and not confident in my abilities just yet. I would love to see another cut with white to make it pop, but personally, I would never take a rotary cutter to it again if it was mine! I'm pretty sure my luck wouldn't hold out twice, ha ha!

    I like what you did! When I hated the 1600 quilt that I made I cut it into squares and sashed them, but yours is so much more original.

    According to the gal who coordinates this locally, you can not have golden stars - those indicate death. But I will remember that idea if I ever get sucked into doing one of these again for another cause - lol!!

    I like it just the way it is! Looks great.
    You certainly could try other cuts, but I don't think they are necessary.

    RavenLunaStitch - I figured I had nothing to loose. But It is currently hanging over the railing upstairs and I can see it from the living room. It is growing on me just the way it is. Also - the is a size limit to QOVs and I will already have to trim it I think.

    To everyone else - thanks for your input. It is great to have so many wonderful quilters at the ready for opinions!!
