Thank you!
My budget is super-tight, so I didn't buy the pattern or new fabrics. I had seen a quilt like it before and made note of the name. Then I Googled "Exploding Star" quilt and found a photo. If you cut the quilt down through the center and across the middle you can see how each quarter consists of 4 blocks. (Each block is 9 fabric squares by 9 fabric squares) I copied a grid into my computer's "Paint" program and then drew the star pattern of one of the quarters onto it. I think the real pattern cuts off the stars and has different corner blocks, but I wanted to finish off my star's points and fill the corners with more prints.

I'm attaching a sample of how I draw patterns out so you can tell what I'm talking about. This isn't the real pattern, just an example of what I do when planning a project.
