Draw or pull your first star from the block library.
Then color it like you want it.
Next, go to your quilt tab.
Do your quilt layout as Horizontal
Change your layout to 1 x 1 block
Change the size to be the inches you want your center, single block.
Now go to your border tab and add everything else in layers or blocks or strips.
Then put your chosen block in the center.
Then add any others in the next borders.
This isn't exactly like the star you want, but you might be able to alter it to create your own design. http://blog.morningglorydesigns.net/...downloads.html
Sometimes color placement in a block creates illusions.

Imagine the block creation section of EQ as graph paper you don’t have to erase. There is a box to enter in the size of the block you want to create. Then on the left there is something to click that lets you connect lines between the dots. It’s lots of fun. If you don’t have enough dots to create the block you want; there is a place at the top to increase how many of them are in the grid.

Quiltworx, Judy Neimeyer's site, has several paper pieced patterns that may interest you. http://www.quiltworx.com/patterns/?sort=az

Ok, I have a better view of the star. It's nothing really fancy. I might try to do it with all the helpful comments and instruction of the wonderful members of this board. Still, I wouldn't mind hiring someone to create this pattern for me, as I'm so busy at this time of the year and can't say I'm trilled to spend a few hours playing on EQ... :-)

I was definitely thinking about doing the small outside floating diamonds shape in applique rather than piecing them. But for the main part, since there would be some very large pieces (we are looking for a double bed size here), I would rather find a way to piece it.
