I hope these are the close up photos all y'all were looking for on Monday...
This is my version of Bonnie's Jared Takes an Wife - except mine is an Asian wife due to the Asian fabrics :)
I left the sashing out of the quilt center, enjoying the secondary pattern created, but then decided the quilt needed to be bigger so I switched the fabrics around on the outer "border". The quilt is now 72" x 84".
I switched red for part of the black star points (and that is partly because after adding the black that I did add to the outer border there is only a 6" square of it left!) and I altered the star center fabrics.
Last time I posted on this, people spoke up that it should be yellow in the centers. I cut some yellow and some green and tried them both. The yellow center with yellow star points was just too much for me so I relegated those to the corners and used green centers on the sides of the quilt. Howz that for a good compromise?
Sorry for crinkly quilt photos - between the grass that needs trimming and little furry feet, it was the best I could do...

very nice and good that you have personalised it to the colours you want where you want
The ones with green centers remind me of sunflowers!
