Asterisk Quilt Comes Together

I know you are all asleep right now, but I need you to wake up and look at this and tell me what you think.

I have good ideas occasionally, but I don't always know how to bring them home.

So tell me what you think.

I have these Asterisk blocks that need to get finished for May.  And they need one more buddy in black.  He will happen tomorrow, hopefully.  That will give me 8 of the big guys.

I created them myself after several tries.  I say several tries because I had to work out the problem with bulky seams meeting in the center.  You will notice that none of the seams meet in the center now. 

I worked that out.

And all the seams meet other places now.  And that is better than when it started out.  Believe me.

So anyway.

I was thinking that the Asterisks were plain and boring looking on white background, but that is all I had ever pictured them on.  Then I noticed a black dot fat quarter and thought that might be a nice center block.

Which led me to think that I could use more of that to go around the outside but I didn't want to buy more fabric.  So I looked around the shelves and found this.

And under that were these numbers.

I don't know if the scale of the numbers make them wrong for the Asterisks blocks. 

I like the numbers.  But I also like the quilt to be one that you say, what is your favorite color, red?  Purple?  Orange?


 Maybe it is all too much and I should go back  to all white.........
