Depending on how complex you want the big block - my favorite is the Carpenter's Star...I've used that pattern to make up to lap quilt size by adding borders - but it would work out well for a WOF size. Good luck.

Perhaps you might like the Scrappy Swoon? There is a quilt-along thread here on the board for this quilt:

It's just one big swoon block, done in scrappy squares. I did mine with 2.5" squares and it came out at 48.5" square. You could use 2" blocks if you want it smaller.

You can also search giant vintage star tutorial and that one is really easy! The link is in a post from Valerie Ann -big block for back of quilt ideas and I think it was Not Wendy that posted the link.

I have made a single star quilt from a pattern found at the Quilt Pattern Factory at [email protected].
The pattern gives directions for a 32 x 42 plus binding and a 40 x 50 plus binding. I made the 32 x 42 in one day and loved it.
