Sew sew sew - holiday sewing

Using up some indigo print charm squares that I've had since I began quilting, so over 10 years old. I had a number in three tone prints, only thirteen, and each star block calls for eight. And today, for the life of me, I couldn't find more to round up my numbers. The problem with keeping things for so long. But buried in my stash were a few other bits I was able to work in to solve the issue. The red background fabric came from a fabric binge in Sydney last year. Using it up is helping with my buyer's guilt.
I also modified the pattern, increasing the square to 6 inches. I think I could end up with two cushion sized blocks.
