Christmas Star Block

I made this star block over the weekend and just love it!

Christmas Star Block

If I had all the time in the world, I'd love to make a full-size quilt of these stars. But I'm short on time and fabric, as I'm using the leftovers from the advent quilt I made a few years ago. The fabric is from Kate Spain's 12 Days of Christmas collection. I just love her holiday fabrics! I've been hanging on to a layer cake of her Joy collection too, just waiting for the right project to come along.

Countdown to Christmas quilt 2

The above quilt is a pattern I designed for work, and you can download it for free here.

So now I'm trying to decide what to add to this block to make it into a decent wallhanging size. Here are a few options I've mocked up in EQ7:

I'm leaning towards A... what's your pick?

  7. A or C. all are gorgeous, but those are so different and really stand out.

  8. I like B a lot, but it has a bit of a tulip-y vibe that maybe wouldn't suit the Christmas fabrics so well. A is my favourite otherwise - it's just a great block, you could use that for all kinds of prints/styles.
