Question How should I quilt this - Part II

I had asked for quilting suggestions earlier for my star quilt - https://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f...lt-t291658.htm. I have narrowed it down to two possibilities, but can't decide between them...

This first one is what Rob and a few other people had suggested - concentric stars, echoing out across the quilt.

The other possibility is something my (non-quilting) sister had said. She suggested I make the quilting look like brushstrokes, to give the effect of Van Gogh's Starry Night. It looks a bit sloppy here, but I think I can make it a bit tidier on the actual quilt. I would try to follow the general overall dark and light swirls of the top in the stitching.

I'm completely torn - they give such different looks, but I really like them both! What would you choose?

Thanks in advance!
