I don't mind at all! It really wasn't my idea to begin with, I got the pattern from Quiltbug, and just modified the colors. Here is a link:

It went together quickly and easily! Also, to center the stars, here is what I did: I had long strips of the blue cut out (2 inches by WoF) I cut my red and white strips wider than I needed to, then I centered the strips over the red star (right sides together) and sewed them together (1/4 inch seam, of course! :lol: ) then cut the whole strip down to the appropriate size. It was much easier this way, and then if I was a bit off when I sewed the strips to the blue, I had a way to re-center the stars.
Please let me know if that doesn't make sense! :lol:
Basically, I took the idea, and some of the measurements from the website, and modified it for what I had on hand.
I might make another one soon...I could do a tutorial on it.... Does anyone want me to do that?
Let me know!
Happy Quilting!
