I am estimating that this problem child has been in progress for around 6 or 7 years. I LOVED the Kaffe background, and I had a pile of bright prints that I LOVED too .... oh and I LOVED the Lecien houndstooth that was the alternate block.
However, I LOATHED the Demoyne star .... too much bias! And I came to also LOATHE the pattern, which was riddled with mistakes. So much so, that this was just a part of the unpicking ....

And below is a photo of the quilt with all the stars in place. Not a very good shot for some reason, the colours look washed out. I a bringing along to class to decide about the border. Or whether I need a border at all. It is 84 inches square so a reasonable size .... I'll be seeking advice!
Love love love! I think the persistence has won in this case. You know I love big quilts, but on this occasion I am thinking no boarder, and maybe a strong binding….. but of course we can all decide in a week or so! Kim
