My thoughts too. Without a light sashing, will the points touch when put together? You've created some beautiful blocks for a fortunate kiddo.

What you have going is great! I do like this idea a lot though. Lucky child either way.

I really like this idea of using the same colour sashing as the background, but probably would not have thought of it.

Beautiful quilt. I think sashing would showcase each star and make them stand out.

I like the idea of a black sashing around the stars. You can cut some strips & lay them between the blocks, stand back & review it & see what a sashing would look like before you sew it on. It's going to be a beautiful quilt. Anything with stars is a favorite of mine.
