Did you intend to do that or did you pick up the wrong stack?
I like your aqua center and corners.

Here's the corrected version.

Thanks Nanny and Susan for all the pictures with different colors. Lots of things to think about.
I just can't start sewing. It's more than busy to me, it's chaos, and it reminds me too much of my desk where I can't find anything.
In this case it's the stars I can't find. I even tried it without the green sashing. I think if I were to use the all pink center I would make a four-square so it too would be scrappy. But I kind of what to stay true to Bonnie's concept because that was why I joined in. I'll wait for more ideas before deciding.

I don't care for any of the colored solid centers, but I liked the picture with the white center square. Maybe a nice white print as the center?
edit
whitepine, I'm not having trouble seeing your star.

I have yet to fall in love with this but a determined to get her done. I only made two blocks with the pink center and just made a block with a white center. I can use the pink centers either in the quilt or on the backside. Maybe ever other block with a pink or all solid white?
thankyou all as we work on this monster.

One good thing about this design is if your points are cut off or your seams don't match NO one will be able to tell!
With that much pink it seems to me to be turning into a girly quilt. I can't decide what I am going to do until I get more blocks done.

Well, I've got a full block done, all the sashing ready to add to the blocks & part of the blocks put together. Although I like the idea of the solid centers that some of you have chosen, I'm going to stick with the layout Bonnie did. I'll post a pic later as I haven't taken one yet.
