Beginner Quilt Class Project

  Last night for class my students sewed the Friendship Star blocks.  Here are their blocks.

Their home work is to finish all their blocks and sew them into rows and a top center.  I spent this evening sewing on my class sample. 

Next week we will add the border, sandwich and begin quilting with a walking foot.
I had planned to use a darker pink for my border but now think it does not have enough contrast so I went looking in my stash and came up with 2 possibilities.

I think I like the blue better.
