I make my own Christmas cards. For the last several years, I have done "quilted" cards, all with stars...Le Moyne Star, Laced Star, and Hexed Star. I'm hoping someone might have a suggestion for this year cuz I've hit the wall on new ideas. :shock: It should be fairly simple, not too many pieces, manageable to create in miniature, yet definitely look like a star to non-quilters (Friendship Star doesn't meet that last criteria). Thanks so much for any help. :D

How about a simple country star (rather primitive looking) using scraps of denim, denim pockets, using reverse applique by cutting out a star from denim and placing Christmas fabric under the cutout. "Wishing you an old fashioned country Christmas" Maybe any of these ideas will spark your creativity.

For something really primitive, Quiltville's Maverick Stars:

That Belted Star is great for a quilt, but I think I'd be in for trouble trying to reduce it to card size (3-4 inches). The Wandering Star is too much like Friendship Star and the Maverick Star has too many pieces. I think maybe I'll just go through Quilter's Cache page by page and check out everything with "star" in the name. :shock: I have several quilt block encyclopedias from the library and still haven't been able to find the perfect one.
