    I vote for the color of the stars with another one after that, too.

    I'd love the narrow tan border with the #3 wide border.

    I like 5, I think it makes the cream stars really shine, maybe with a cream inner border as well?

    I agree with Izy as well (but then I have to keep her sweet so she gets on with her mystery block tute :wink: );

    Seriously, I think the tan inner border is a must - I agree with the earlier comment about blocks the same fabric as the border bleeding into it being a bad thing;

    I think a darker outer border makes the tan stars pop more!

    Can't wait to see how you do it - sure to be great whatever you decide!

    I'd use the color of the stars for a border, double width of what you've shown and then use the same width again in the dark green.

    I like the first one. The idea of a smaller inner border than the first border is a good one. I like the first because it adds sparkle and movement.
