    As for borders: how about one narrow gold inner border and then a wider blue border around the outside?
    You've done very nice work.

    Firstly, your blocks are beautifully made. As for sashing and whatnot, well, depends on you and of course Grandma's taste. Try laying the stars over some different fabrics, leave them for a bit (I put them on the dining table and cruise past regularly). Whatever you decide, will be just perfect. Don't forget to show us when you are done....we love pics.

    I too vote for sashing and corner stones! It would also make it large enough for the bed

    Yes, I agree with the others who said that you did beautiful work. They look great, and I would add blue sashing and yellow cornerstones, probably. (depending on what fabrics I had, of course). It will be nice. Please post when you decide and finish the top!

    I think sashing would set off the blocks, lay it out and see what it will look like. Your piecing is superb!

    I like the idea of sashing. It will make it stand out.
