If I'm just stringing blocks or strips together, I usually have a country CD playing. If I need to pay more attention to what I'm doing, I prefer classical music or silence.
Regarding the stars, you could probably use any star pattern, which uses squares and/or triangles. If you want to highlight one charm, here's a simple star pattern. http://www.mccallsquilting.com/patte....html?idx=8252

I bring my iPad to my sewing area and like to listen to quilting shows and classes. I have so much to learn and really like the ones below. I do stop to look, but I don't slow down too much. Many I listen to more than once. I pay for the extra access and classes much like my DH pays for cable to see movies.

Sorry I can't help with a pattern.

I quilt in silence. If the weather is warm and the windows are open I like to hear the birds. Of course, living in New Hampshire the warm weather is only around so long. I have listed to my CDs when I quilt at times, but I find myself getting so absorbed into the quilting, that I don't hear the music at all! Then I wonder, what happened to that song I really like, did it already go by?

Well, without knowing more specifically what kind of star quilt you're looking for, it's kind of hard to suggest a pattern. Here are a few ideas:

Excuse me while I gush for a second. Peggi and Cindi. Eeeeeek I read your blog front to back and all over again. I can't wait to try the flange binding tutorial it's awesome and I love your guys blog!!!!
Thanks so much for even replying to my thread y'all.
I am looking for a basic star nothing fancy no ten million points. The less cutting the better cuz straight lines hate me with a passion lol.
The charm pack I got is adornit princess. I really want to highlight the pink for the most part and use the black and grey as accent. The pink suits my Lulu and the black a and silver helps so dad won't have the heebie jeebies when he's riding with her in his truck lol. Plus black and silver match our Harley.
