Star Muddle - A vote???

Kitty, Here is my opinion: #2 makes the quilt top look like a muddle
- not my choice; #1 is solid and I liked the circle effect it made but
#3 is lighter and the circle illusion line is much clearer. The
secondary pattern lines in #3 are also more defined.
My order of preference is 3-1-2

I need some opinions here please...don't be shy
I started a new quilt, Star Circle, and am now putting together the
first star block. The diamond segments are not sewn together yet and as
I was playing around with them (as one is wont to do at 2:00 am) I found
two other combinations that I thought I liked just as much, if not
better, and I am now thoroughly muddled (and morning probably will not
help that much) so it is decision time here and I need some help
deciding please.

Yes, I think I like #3 as well- it seems to "pop" more than the others somehow.

Kitty,

I like #1. It seems to "glow" more than the others -- almost like a real
star.

I like either 1 or 3, the middle in #2 is too lost in similar values to
show up.

Well, so far I'm in the minority! I like #2. The others have the focus in
the center of the star, and this one is bigger visually. I like the subtle
texture created in the center, with the red and blue, and the white on the
outside makes the star shine.

Star1 is speaking to me, but no matter which one you chose, I'll love it.

Hullo Kitty
Replying before I've read anyone else's!! as usual!

I had to choose between 1 and 3. On balance, I think I like 3 best of
all, with the rings of colour alternating.
