The block is an Ohio Star Variation that I want to use in a lapquilt I'm making for hubby as a gift. It will be red and white.

I really don't want to use a template for the modified sections.

My first idea is to make a reqular sized hour-glass block and just cut it down to size. A waste of fabric, but I can't see another way besides templates or paper-piecing.

I thought maybe some of you would be share how you would go about making this section of the block. Btw, it's to be a red/white quilt. I just used these colors in EQ7 to count my pieces.

Thanks in advance for all suggestions.
