Default Layer Cake Stars, finished!

I posted this last month as a wip, wasn't sure how I was going to put the blocks together, but I was having fun making them from a layer cake that I bought a while back from Connecting Threads. I decided on this simple on point setting because the blocks are so busy and colorful that I didn't feel like they needed much in the way of borders, etc.
The star points on the blocks are folded, not pieced, which I really like, mostly because it made the blocks go together really quickly and easily. But when it came right down to it, I didn't like them flapping in the wind, so I quilted them down with a free motion wavy stitch. It suits my inner ocd.
