You have a great sense for color and it looks great. Go with it. You'll love it in the end.

You did a great job on your blocks for a first quilt. It is going to be beautiful.

The colors are very nice together, and I think a medium sashing color would tie it all together very well. Great job!

fix your boo-boo, don't sash blocks, you'll love the movement of the lighter blocks! I would add borders after the middle's done!!probably start w/ the tan from the star blocks! LOVE the star centers!!

It is looking good the colors you are useing are complementry to each other. I wouldn't change anything on it as it is very pretty the way it is. Happy quilting!

I learned the "Ohio Star" square in my class and found a layout online that I liked to go with the Ohio Star http://crazymomquilts.blogspot.com/2...ng-week-1.html
Instead of the different types of stars, I figured I would use the Ohio Star for all of the star blocks and an off-white/green setting square.
I have completed 6 of each type of block...and laid them out earlier. I am thinking the colors don't really work (the off-white with the darkness of the other block). I haven't done any of the sashing strips...so maybe that will help tie it all together. What do you think? Should I rethink the setting squares?

Thanks in advance!!!

You have the bottum four patch on the right side turned wrong. The green patch needs to go up to the center green square.

The photo background you're using (carpet?) may be distracting you. You may want to lay it on a plain bedsheet.

Also, you might try laying a few squares on fabric for sashing and see what you think.

You've done a very nice job. It'll turn out great.
