The flimsy needs to finish at least 60" by 80", this star finished at 32". I added a 4" finished background border around the star. Then I pieced twenty 10" finished log cabin blocks. I pulled autumn fabrics from the 2-1/2" strip box, they're not a perfect match but they work!
The flimsy is the correct width at 60", now I need 20" of length. I could have made more log cabin blocks but I didn't. I have something else planned.
The free Moda Love pattern can be found here. My star was made with charm blocks.

Moda Love Star is a very nice free pattern and one I hope to make. Coincidentally, yesterday I came across a youtube video by Jordan Fabrics on this specific block. I am not affiliated with the store. Stay well.
Very pretty - love the colors!
It's lovely! I like how you added log cabin blocks. It adds so much interest!
Lovely, I made that, but greatly reduced it to be a pillow sized. One of my favorite pillows!
Beautiful quilt top, I love it! You added just the perfect amount of border ;)
Ohh can't wait to see what you have planned - it looks so great so far!
Looking forward to seeing what you have planned for the top and bottom of the quilt!!
I signed up to get your blog, Gretchen because I loved when you told me you milked cows....and you’re a quilter!
Oh, just to imagine what you will do next!
The log-cabin blocks frame the Moda Love Star block quite nicely. Great color choices. https://knitnkwilt.wordpress.com
