Okay well I went ahead and emailed Debbie Maddy and in like 10 minutes got a reply....who knew this would be so quick. Here is the response for anyone who might be interested as well:
Hello
The finished size of the block in Carpenter's Star Fit for a Queen is 7 1/2", Broken Star Queen is 6" and Broken Star King is 7".
P.S. - When I gave the dimensions for the finished block size I meant the size they would be when the quilt is finished. Add 1/2 inch to those numbers for the block size when getting ready to sew into the quilt.
