Think of the star as a 16 patch, so 4 squares across & 4 down.
Each square will finish at 1/2" (gulp). So the 4 white corners will be cut at 1" square, the center red 1.5" square and the flying geese white rectangle 1 X 1.5, with 1" red squares for the flippy corners. the smallest I've gone was 3" and I wound up paper piecing the geese. I also used them for cornerstones. I would suggest heavy starch before cutting.
