This is the heart design from Sue Box Creations. I

arranged them on plain fabric but have not stiched yet.The centre star design is from the link below and it is a freebie. Does the star go well with the heart....need suggestions from cuties ..or should I remove the star and replace with fabric in the centre. This is my first try on fsl after viewing Lidia's doily.

wow this is lovely! The star is a terrific centerpiece! I think it would look just as lovely with a fabric insert. ~hugs~

Nice job...I think the star is a beautiful fit...but the fabric center would look nice, too...why not do both?

You mean to put the star on the fabric and insert into the
center or make two doilies? I will consider making another doily as big as it is shown here when I get a machine with a larger embroidery area...mine now is only 4x4. Thanks..Hugs, Shyam.

Oh,.no, not another one...let me work out this project first. I only have a 4x4 hoop so it is really time consuming. Thanks...Hugs...Shyam.

I think it looks great.. It sort of matches the star in the middle of the heart. I think you're doing fantastic.

That's spectacular, Shyam, love it! Visually is fantastic but I would add fabric at the back, in the middle, because the little balls at the end of the star, that you attach to the hearts, are not strong enough to stay attached for long. Instead of fabric, you could attach fine net like the one they use for bride's veil.
Hugs, Lidia

Yes, Lidia..I agree with you..the little balls are not strong.
I would prefer all lace as it looks nicer but I couldn't find a suitable design to fill the centre, so my next option is to add fabric as you have suggested. Its quite a difficult task to attach as shown in the picture. I would be happy if I can get a centre lace design to fill the gaps to make the joins stronger. Lidia..you have really inspired me...love all your work. Thanks a lot..Hugs..Shyam.

In my humble opinion it's gorgeous! If you used fabric behind the star or even just the fabric you could achieve two entirely different looks. I love the way you have attached the star to the center, it's suspended and a real focal point. If it's not too delicately joined I'd love to see it completed this way, you could always add a piece of fabric for stability later. hugs
