Solid stars and strings
I played in EQ7 last night trying to decide if I’m going to add borders to the star quilt or go without. I still haven’t decided but these two are the options I’m considering right now.
I also posted the quilt details on the website if anyone is curious about how I’m making the blocks.
With 12 blocks and a border
With 20 blocks and no border
Either way it will be a larger quilt than my usual donation size but I won’t make any decisions until I have more blocks made and on the design wall. Right now, I’ve got 4 up there and love how it’s looking.

I like it! May have to add it to my list of “quilts to make someday”…that list is already as long as my arm.
I love it both ways Mary. But, I am a border kind of guy. I really love the way you made that border scrappy. If you didn’t like the border after making it, you could always make another scrappy Chinese Coins quilt out of it?
I admit, I’m a border person on this one. I think the other one looks like you just stopped, ran out of fabric or steam. I like the border, the read is awesome on it. How’s Chesty?
These quilts both look great. I like the quilt without the border. I dont know why….I just like it better. Thanks for sharing them!!!
Thank you for posting the instructions for this one. I’ve been eying it and wondering exactly how you did it. I definitely want to make one of these.
OK … I like the border you’ve made; I’ve always liked borders like that … BUT … I think I prefer it without the border as a final choice. Usually I’m a “border person” so I’ve confused even myself with this one! Nice quilt; I’m going to “stash” the instructions so that I can make when retired (which is coming up end of May!!!!). BTW … how is Chesty?? We adopted a shelter dog about 4 weeks ago and she is an absolute DOLL!! We are so blessed…..
I like how the solid narrow border gives my eyes a place to “rest” allowing the center to have more impact for me.
Does EQ7 have a magic “scrappetizer” button? I can’t imagine how long it must have taken to paint with so many different fabrics!
I really like your string stars! Borders or no borders it is great. I too am adding this to my list of To Dos, which gets longer everyday.
I like the border on it,maybe you should keep this one. haha. I like scrap qulits the best and to me they are the hardest to make.
I mean so the colors look good , not like a mess.
Mary, I like the one with the borders.
Borders finish it off like a frame on picture.
What a fun quilt! Looks like a kaleidoscope and I love all the colors
I’m not a border person, but I really like the version with one. Your blocks are coming along so nicely.
