I enlarged it to 12 1/2" unfinished to match the Star in this way:

Flying geese for each corner patch are made from one feature fabric measuring 3"x 5 1/2" and two background squares 3"x3". The two HSTs for each corner patch are from one feature fabric square 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" and one background square 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" (same HST method used for Star). Trim resulting two HSTs to 3" square. Make four corner patches that will measure 5 x 1/2" x 5 1/2" each.

The sashing pieces are 2 1/2" x 5 1/2". The center block is 2 1/2" x 2 1/2".

Assemble patches, sashing pieces, center block in rows as you would a nine patch block.

Here is my ready-to-quilt table topper that will be a hostess gift if I get it done by the weekend!
