For you Michiganders, you also know about the rivalry between Ohio State and U Michigan (well of course -- one of the oldest rivalries in college sports...). I chose the sawtooth star here because it most definitely is not an Ohio Star! That would be a hidden insult indeed. There is a block called Michigan that is just a slight variation on the Ohio Star and I decided it was just too close.
It's just a coincidence of proportions and quilt math that the fans connected so nicely with the stars. I actually prefer maybe 5-6 blades to the 8 that is my template, but I really like having that nice hard template for fast and easy cutting.
