Have you tried quilterscache.com? You can select by block name or size. Maybe check the 6" blocks to see if they have what you are looking for?

A 5 point star is going to be harder to come by than an 8 or 6 pointer.
Here's some you can look thru.

I found several by googling "5 point star paper pieced"
I think this is the link
http://freewallpapers.pusku.com/pape...d-star-pattern
If the link doesn't work try googling. A paper pieced pattern can be enlarged or reduced to the size you want.

I agree with NJ Quilter. Check out quilterscache.com. They have blocks in alphabet, and also in different sizes.

All the above are great. Maybe you have a friend with EQ who could help you with this. It is easy to resize in EQ.
