At first I wasn't sure.......

After I sewed the border on I wasn't sure I liked it.  I thought maybe it was overpowering, but the longer I looked at it, the better I liked it.  It will have the red fabric for binding like I have simulated on the upper left corner.

I sewed a couple more stars.

Before I sewed the green one I played with alternate centers.  There may be a mix of different stars in this quilt, or I might just make my favorite, the lower right star to mix in.

    What a perfect ending. I love the summer quilt. I like the variety of stars that you are making. I really like the different centers. Is the whole quilt going to be in those colors?

    I love the variety of centers in the stars ... draws the eye in to look for differences within the common theme.

    Congrats on the flimsy finish, too.

    Your star blocks are beautiful! I always like to have some star blocks on the go.

    It looks very pretty, how nice to have another finished quilt top! I like the stars too, they will go well no matter if they are the same or not.

    Another wonderful quilt. I like your choice of the border strips, too.

    Your stars are great. Isn't it interesting the different designs you can make with a set of 4 HST squares?

    Good pick, and I especially like the idea of red binding. A very nice finish. Your stars will be fab when you get them together. Any star block is a good block though.
