Some, but not all, states have an official quilt block. A couple of years ago I found this site which contains lists of the states with their official symbols. for example - Alabama doesn't have an official state block, but it does have an official quilt. If you go to cultural symbols, you can get more information. Or click on the name of each state to review the symbols/items that have been voted as the "official" item for the state.

There was a pattern published by McCalls called 'Covering America' a couple of years ago that has blocks for each state - they aren't all stars, and they don't correspond to the one that rebeljane posted above but might give you some more ideas if you are planning a project. I'm working on this one at the moment (done half of the blocks) and am really enjoying the variations between each block.
