I think your stars look wonderful! Depending on the size of quilt you want, you could also set your blocks on point with alternate plain squares. That seems to make a quilt larger quickly! Whatever you do, she will love it!

Your stars are so pretty. It will be a wonderful gift when you're finished. As already mentioned, if you want to enlarge the quilt you can always sash and include alternate plain blocks. Keep going. It's going to be much loved by the recipient, I'm sure.

That is going to be a dynamite quilt. I love all the colors. I agree with everyone - don't put additional pressure on yourself. Use sashing or simple alternate blocks and you can knock that baby out in no time! (this from a person who can NEVER knock out a quilt!) As someone else said, think of who it's for and the sacrifice that person made and you'll find it a lot less boring. Wishing you both good health.

Put a wide frame around each star, say a 3 inch wide, which will make each block BIG. Find a sewing friend, let her help you assemble. You will generate energy and enthusiasm by working together. Trust me, it is a Law of the Universe.
