    The second one is more striking because of the color combo, and I love the Asian fabric, but wish that the flowers were more centered in the squares. That being said, you're doing a fabulous job on your points with both and I would definitely complete both samples.

    I like #1 the best. Maybe replace your teal fabric and use the floral fabric that you are using in the second star instead.

    I like the first blocks the most. However I suspect you like the second blocks better, so go with what YOU like!!!! Let us know how it turns out.

In places where four stars come together, put your LeMoyne stars where you only have one or two stars (the outside peremeters) put the sawtooth but I would limit my star points to that teal color so it all ties together nicely. You have picked some gorgeous fabrics for this project.
    Thanks, feline fanatic, you said it way better than I could.
