2 1/2" strips/WOF sewn together to size/cut to size will work for the stripes.
Here is a link to ALL kinds of F R E E Star Block patterns from the Patchwork Square site - Quilter's Choice!
(12" is the FINISHED size in a quilt, 12 1/2" is the size of the raw/unfinished quilt block prior to being sewn into a quilt.) This is the size we want! ANY Star you choose will work, you may create as many as you like! Drop off at one of our upcoming meetings OR,

We will be working on several drop-in Star quilts. Stumbled across this idea a year ago while designing a panel challenge quilt for an IRAQ Vet. Took it to the next level while brainstorming w/fellow volunteer (Lisa - quilt designer extraordinaire and online quilt shop owner www.QuiltJubilee.com), and it works amazingly well.
Thank You EVERYONE for your support of our Combat Veterans and Service Members through Quilts of Honor.
PS...Don't forget to sign your quilt blocks - our Veterans LOVE that!
