Turns out the answer to both of these questions was an EPP star quilt! I'm using 2.5"hexagons for the negative space and the 'stars' are constructed with 2.5" jewels with a 1.25" hexagon in the centre.
I'm aiming for a good spread of colours and patterns across the quilt, each star has a warm or cool centre and the other forms the petals.
I have basted all the hexagons in both sizes and made some stars but got a bit stuck until today when I was able to get some more jewel shapes.
I've started getting the top together too. The plan is to take some time to each lunch at work this year and so to baste and sew a star or two at lunch each day and then add it to the top when I get home in the evening.
A plan at least!

Sounds like a great plan! I love the stars, and the background looks perfect too :)
Thanks, the background is a Prima Homespun from Spotlight in Slate - I find it goes wonderfully with almost everything!
Great plan! Little bites are just the way to go. Lovely start!
