So I made a sample block of that version, and I really like this star. I asked my 11-year-old which version he liked better with the rest of the quilt, and he said this 8-pointed star. He is quite proud of himself for helping me make design decisions on two of the borders for Fibonacci! I would say he might be a future quilt-maker, but he is so full of energy, I cannot see him sitting still long enough to do any piecing. For now, he is my design consultant!
Of course, in the actual quilt, I will be using Christmas quilts to match the rest of the quilt! I've started cutting out the pieces, but haven't sewn any together yet.
See what others are doing at Judy's.
Happy stitching!

Tri-Recs units are one of the hardest for me but both of yours look great. I really like your 4 pointed star but the 8 pointed one is probably best for a 12" block.
It's hard to go wrong with Tri-Recs. I always love quilts made with this ruler.
It is always nice to have a consultant.
Hum. a Fibonacci inspired quilt... interesting. I like your little star block.
How fun to change the look completely by reversing some things! Cool!
I like this star, too. It does help to see things from another perspective.
Great save!!
This is the way I usually see the tri recs star. I took a look at your other star and I liked it!
That block looks great! I wonder what would happen if you alternated the two blocks in the border. Would a secondary design come out? I don't have any quilt software to play around with ideas. =)
You have encouraged me to have a go with the tri rec I have bought, did do one block with it, need to practise more. Struggling with working out when a square becomes a half square triange as opposed to a quarter square triangle, any tips for my befuddled brain would be great
