I think I'm going to stick with the plain white.
Remember that the blocks all have white in them, but it doesn't show well because they're scanned photos, so I think it will tie it all together and not detract from the stars.
The dotty fabric will go nicely to break up the sashing, and add a bit of colour, and the little triangles aren't over powering.
This is the dotty fabric
