Oh how I like that pattern!
You will get some great 3-D effects that will twinkle and glow with the right fabrics.

You can create this PP pattern, easy enough yourself (and skip the computer!).
Start with the templates that came with the pattern, and draw them on paper to make your star.
Then add in lines through the white space from the inside corners of each of the points of the star to the outer edge of each block.
Remember to mark the outer edge of the block.
This pattern has the stars floating, and so, the points will not be at the outside edge, but in a bit.
Great ... as it avoids using sashing to separate the stars!

At this point, I colour or mark each section as to what colours I am using.
Dark, Light and White if I am using assorted fabrics/colours ... or the actual colour.
For me, this minimizes how much I have to think when I am PPing and makes it almost goof proof (for me!) to get the wrong colour in the wrong place!

Photocopy and separate each section.
For this pattern you will have eight sections, with four pieces in each.
Add in the seam lines allowances .

Then you are ready to photocopy and make your blocks.
First, I would just do one set to test the pattern, and make sure you have everything correct.
Once you have tested it .... photocopy to your s desire!

Yes, there are patterns for this block around ... right now, I am not sure where though!
