Find the middle of the long side and measure over from middle about 1/2 inch on either side and make a mark. Then draw a line from each dot on flat bottom up to dot on same side on either side of pointy part. That makes your pattern. Use that to make a template to cut out multiple pieces until you have enough for all the blocks you need. You need 4 pieces for each block. Wish I knew how to get a picture on here to show you. It is really easier than it sounds. This way you can make the 'center star' part as wide or as skinny as you wish.
