I would be using new fabric that i have on hand, but they wont be calicos. is it ok to just use what i have or do i need to try and use light prints? I would love to brighten up the star with vivid colors i will do it by hand since the quilt is to large to machine quilt. My question is would it look funny if i just used new fabric of my chice?? She said i can do what i want to fix it. She does not care. Im doing her a favor on my own im not going to scour fabric shops im to busy. I wondering how it would with a new star in the center and old worn out on the rest???
