The next night I decided that I didn't want to use them just like that, so I cut them up added some dark burgundy batik from that sack and here are the borders I made that night. Looking pretty good, but now it needs a center and I needed to get to bed.
Night 3 - The plan for this night was to come up with a center block. I love making wonky/funky/liberated (whatever word you use for them) stars. I am known for my funky stars. However, I decided that I didn't want to do that for this border and wanted something a little more traditional since I was using non-traditional fabric. Below is my finished star for my borders to surround.
Here they are put together.

I really like the way this is going. I think the " talking it out" does help me think about how a piece is going and , more importantly, why.

Such pretty colors!
Your star suggests a little landscape to me, and it is framed beautifully by the rich burgundy. Going to be magnificent!
This is stunning! I really love the colors you have chosen. Fantastic!
That star would have been fine all by itself! However this turns out, it's going to be fantastic!
Lovely start!
it's LOVELY!! not everything has to be symmetrical to be a success.... I love it! the batiks look great with it... hmm, perhaps I should get out my batiks...You've inspired!
What about the other two borders if you want more not being the same. Try something different and see if you like it. Bonnie
