Are the stars in the middle row really larger than those in the top row or is that an optical illusion due to the quilt placement on the floor and the camera.

I like your new stars, but think maybe making them multi colour to coordinate with the earlier ones, might look better?

I had several mix-matched stars I was practicing on, for size and block size. I just added bars and other simple blocks to even up the mix, and sewed them all together. Made a pretty nifty quilt for my dog.
I'm not sure if that is what you are asking about, but sometimes if you intentionally make it more unmatched, it all works.

I like this idea.

I think what makes these stars not work is they are one color. If you use the same strong colors and make them scrappy, they will look great. I also think the total border is too wide.

Okay, here is the bottom border of migrating flying geese laid in place but not sewn together yet. I haven't decided if these are the final colours yet but I think it works better then the stars. I will reverse the order of the border colours for the top but in the same fabrics. What do you think?[ATTACH=CONFIG]573003[/ATTACH]

The red and white star block in the middle row - definitely gets my "attention."

I like the colors of your migrating geese, but I think they are overwhelming for the size of the star block.

JMHO

I love the migrating geese but wish they were smaller. If you need such a large border, you could always do some thin borders of one or more of the geese colors, followed by smaller migrating geese. Then bind in black for your "final border".

This is gonna be a very cool quilt!!!

Agree with both bearisgray and sushi...smaller migrating geese and at least one small border. The smaller star in the center gives me a place to rest my eye and a small border would work that way for me as well. Your geese colors work very nicely.....good choices. Nice points on your stars!
