Final layout............
Here is my final layout of the batik star quilt. I need to sew on the left side and bottom edge sashing strips and then I can sew it all together. I'm predicting it will be about 69" x 96" when sewn together. I might consider a light print batik border but I won't know until I sew it together and then look through my fabrics.
I found the dotted fabric that I thought might work for some alternate blocks on the wonky heart quilt but I only have a quarter yard so there is enough for 8 blocks. I also have enough of the kitty print left to make 4 blocks. Added to the 16 blocks that are done I would have 28 six inch blocks. There will still be a little bit of the black print left so I'll keep looking for one more bright fabric.

Those stars are amazing! Lovely quilt...hugs, Julierose
I love star blocks
I'm sure I've said this before, but I never cease to be amazed at the difference value and color placement can make in the look of the same block!
BEAUTIFUL layout for the stars! Happy hunting in the stash.
I wouldn't have thought your sashes and corner stones would make such an awesome difference, on your stars.... It takes my breath away Wanda, just beautiful. And your new found fabrics for the wonky hearts are perfect. Of course they are or you wouldn't have photographed them for us.

Love the stars and setting. Can't wait to see it sewn.
Those stars are really beautiful.
The star quilt is looking wonderful! I like the prints for the heart quilt. Mixing up those bright prints will make for a lively, pretty quilt!
The stars look like they are are parchment. Lovely.
