In places where four stars come together, put your LeMoyne stars where you only have one or two stars (the outside peremeters) put the sawtooth but I would limit my star points to that teal color so it all ties together nicely. You have picked some gorgeous fabrics for this project.

Perfect solution!

I like the second one better. I just like purples better than greens though. K

What effect were you going for? The first bock is very contemporary look, good for male or female. The second block has a very feminine vibe to it. Personally, my favorite is Block 1, but the second block is pretty too.

I like #1 as it is more of a Star, maybe boring, but it is beautiful!

I like the idea of using both, since you like both. Be sure to show us how it turns out!

I like both a lot, but the Lemoyne a bit more.

I agree with feline fanatic, using a combination of the two. Something else to consider is the fomal/casual appearance of the completed top. somwone else mentioned the color choice of the LeMoine star, maybe use some of the border fabric in some of them or another color such as the light purple you used in one of the sawtooth stars.

I too, like them both. The 1st one seems more like your contemporary star where the 2nd one gives it a little touch of something different. They are both very pretty.

both are very nice but I like the top one the best
