In making maze books, I used a number of tiling patterns that featured stars of various kinds. Over the past month I gathered them, corrected them where necessary, and filled in some obvious gaps when I looked at what I had, and then issued the results as a two font family,
IngyStarTilings. It is available on myfonts.com.
Here are a few examples of what kinds of patterns it can produce. (Note, most of the patterns require two characters.)
Above, an eleven-pointed star and an eight pointed star. Below four-pointed stars and three-pointed stars.
Stars do not tessellate so I could not use these patterns in my various tessellation patterns.
A complete listing of the patterns I could make with the typeface is at

(Two other typefaces that feature stars are
XStellaStern and
XStarsAndStripes.)
