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!!!

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.
