if any one wants to try it, the link has two star patterns...this particular one is the Alaska Star (which Dorian pointed out).

Black is too severe; your blue is distracting--too bright; Red is very nice, and white is gentle and lovely. Have you thought of a very narrow black inner combined with the Red; or a narrow red with a wider White?

With no sashing new patterns emerge, and it's very interesting, but maybe a little too busy. I think I like the narrow white best, although before I saw the narrower version I preferred the red. Or maybe you could do narrow white sashing with red cornerstones. I love that block design!

I'm for anything that avoids the ubiquitous squares in a grid layout. ;-)

I'd also been thinking of on point ... and wondering about filler blocks of the print.
And totally agree ... avoid squares, and head to on point
