    I used Muslin (eggshell color with the brown specks) for the background.

    After seeing the blocks so far, I am really leaning toward a white background instead of the navy blue that I had planned to use. Your block and others have been an inspiration to me. I think that the simple blocks are more dramatic in a quilt than the ornate ones. We will have to wait and see. :-)

    Oh, that's a great idea too! I love the simplicity of muslin. Can't wait to see your block.

    I really like the B & W. Going to have to make me one too.

    I really like that concept, like the moon with the stars.

    Your block is so unique - bet lots of us will be copying it!! Would make an adorable baby blanket too. Great job.
