I'd look on an Amish quilt site to get ideas. I think their Lone Stars are among the prettiest I've seen. Usually done with straight quilting in the star and then lots of feathery wreaths in the corners. (Something I could Never do!!)
Please post a pic when you're finished-would love to see it. Good luck, esp with silk.

Although my lonestar is hand quilted this may give you some ideas. Here is a link to mine. I used a feather swag stencil and placed it so it formed the heart shape. Background is just a 1" grid and in the star I quilted 1/4" from every seam line.
