QUOTE=quiltin-nannie;5958852]I like the first one....the beige color picks up the beige in the blocks and really makes the stars pop. IMHO the other one is too busy and takes away from your stars.[/QUOTE]

My thoughts as well...

Option A makes your star just shine, and you can do lots of fancy quilting in it that really will show

Ohmygosh! That is breathtakingly beautiful! Both of them are lovely, but I think if I were only doing one, I'd go for the top one. It is more formal; the second one is more playful.

If the fabrics are showing up true to color, I like the first one better. That being said, I tend to like more of the calm colors in my quilts. Good luck. You can quilt whatever you chose to quilt on any fabric!

Could you use the pretty bubble fabric in the binding?

I agree with the above, as well. That print (bubbles on white) would look great as a binding or narrow border, I think. Stick with option B for the space in between your star points.
