Flying Stars!

After looking at lots of images of quilts made with flying geese, it was easy to see that there should be some star blocks in my design.   I have NOT decided on an actual design yet. This may be a somewhat "modern" quilt when I make it.
So let's look at the stars.   Thus far there are three of them.

The Trio 

The first one I made - with a square in a square center.

The second one with a simple square center.

Since my flying geese are 2 1/2 by 4 1/2 unfinished,  there is a 4 1/2 square for the center and four 2 1/2 square pieces for the corners.   I call them "Flying Stars."  There is probably another name for them, but MINE are Flying Stars. (Edited to add: Barbara Brackman calls this a "Sawtooth Star."  I like "Flying Star" better.)
There is no close-up of the third one because I forgot to take the photo.  But it has a secret.  I spied a pack of Prairie charm squares in a similar color-way to the Hello Darling.   One of the charms became the center for the  third Flying Star.  It worked wonderfully.

Here are some pieces I cut already and the pack of Prairie charms.

I discovered that from the Layer Cake (10 inch squares) I can cut one of the 5 1/4" squares and four of the 3 inch squares that I use to make four at a time of the flying geese units.
There are a few videos on YouTube showing the process.  But, I will ask you-"Do you think I should make another one showing my process for making 4 at a time?"
