What would you do with these blocks?

I'd go with the rest of them. Use dark sash and put it together. If you want to add some more punch I have two ideas. First, after it's pieced together (or before) add some applique. There was a quilt in this months McCalls Quilting magazine that had a basic quilt with butterfly appliques done in beautiful batiks all over it and it was stunning. If it was for a little boy you could do like a sheriffs star and cowboy boots and maybe spurs. You get the idea.
The other idea is to add embroidered designs or decorative stitches. Or some contrasting quilting stitches.
JMHO. I like the stars. That was our first star in this year star BOM.

The blocks look about 6". how about making them square-in-a-
square? the added corners would enlarge the blocks and then you could do some sashing, etc. they would set on Point or you could do the action twice to make them even larger and set on square. color suggestions of darker browns & turkey reds sound good. when quilting, use a red or dark brown to stitch about 1/4" inside each star.
will be a great quilt and so fun to finish a UFO.
