Thank you so much for your reply and information. Mariners compass is one of my favorites but until I learned that they could be paper pieced I didn't think it was possible.

If I make four 8", simpler stars, for the smaller areas I will only need to make 2 more of the 12" complicated ones (2 more because I don't want to use one that is already made).
Looks like I have something to work on today.
