You could build up the points of the star using little triangles of the same dimensions you've aleady used. Maybe pick a different colour from the center for each point, with a sort of gradient mix of that one colour. Then coz you've already got black, set the big star into a black background.<br />Does that make any sense? I can see in my ead what I mean, but I have no idea how it would work in reality.Nichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16299018618298513874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6513356584940430771.post-58821670864725388912011-08-12T19:32:00.439+01:002011-08-12T19:32:00.439+01:00This really would make a fun quilt.
