WE have a large plain tin star over our garage. They sell they sell them everywhere here in West Virginia. I think you could print out a paper quilt design and decopague it onto a regular tin star and then seal it with shellac or something. Or maybe paint a design like a quilt block. Just Thinking :roll:

Well this isn't a star, but it's some quilt blocks that you could put on your house.

wichypoo, I like your idea too. Do you have a website maybe where they have the plain tin stars? I'd love to have a look.

This is sort of an answer to your question about the tin star - - -
We added a wrap-around porch to our Victorian farmhouse in 1992. It should have had one to start with! If I remember, I'll take a picture and post it.
Anyway, I made a HEART patchwork wall-hanging to decorate the round wrap-around part - and we leave it on year-round. The first one faded BADLY, so I made a 2nd, and I hung the 1st on the back stairwell (the one no one but DH and I use from kitchen to MBR). Pretty soon, I'm gonna have to make a 3rd!

I put sleeves at top AND bottom. DH put small metal rods through the sleeves and attached them with cup hooks to the side of the house - stretching the bottom to hold the hanging tightly so the wind would not whip it away.

Anyway, I made a fabric HEART patchwork wall-hanging to decorate the round wrap-around part - and we left it on year-round. The first one faded BADLY but it never rotted, so I made a 2nd, and I hung the 1st on the back stairwell (the one no one but DH and I use from kitchen to MBR). Pretty soon, I'm gonna have to make a 3rd! If I remember, I'll take pictures and post them.
