Hello SueSew,
Thank you very much for your kind comment.
My "Stars" are 9" and I am making them in conjunction with my local quilt groups challenge for this year. The measurements are nine stars x 9" inch blocks and then made into a wall hanging. I shall make 12 stars - to make a better ( I feel) shape and size.
I am so sorry to read about the damage to your house and I hope the repairs are soon sorted out.
