With straight lines as well as curves in the pattern the motifs seem to come out as either circles (with the curved places in the pattern) or stars (with the straight places in the pattern.) I made a OBW with a Tiki (straight lines) /palm tree (curves) patterned fabric and opening each motif was a delight.. Each was different. Good luck.
Could youp lease show us some pics of yours?
... both the virgin fabric and the OBW results?

Please? and Thanks!
