And I've enjoyed playing with all the fabric placements. If you look closely, you may spot what's happening.
The pattern calls for the centre of the star & points to be all in one fabric – but I figured if I did that every time, it would be too intense. The occasional one or three was perfect.
I've also added extra scrappiness to a few of my centre stars (see pic #7), and I've used two backgrounds (see pics #4 & #5) for a couple of the stars - it all creates extra interest.
Plus, there are a few places where I've embraced some joins in my fabric to get the required length (my stash is more FQs than yardage).

Super sunny day here - not complaining - but getting good pics a tad problematical. Have a great weekend, Linda

I think the stars look good with a variety of centers too. It keeps the viewer looking around to take in all of the beauty.
I love the scrappiness of your version. And the low volume palette with the stars is very soothing.
lovely blocks - it must be spring in your area now as we are heading towards early winter
The soft vibe of this quilt is so restful and appealing. A favorite.
Gorgeous. I really like the way the soft and subtle colours in the framing of the blocks makes the stars shine.
How well those half frames work.
Yes, a super pattern. I’m thinking now, all it needs is some pretty quilting!
Thanks for stopping by & taking the time to comment. (I had trouble replying so have added a comment here, hope you see it). Linda
