Queen Sized Log Cabin Block Quilt - size, amount of material, etc?

I am not very good at figuring out the sizes and amounts of material I will need for a quilt, so I'm hoping someone can help me. I want to make a queen sized quilt out of 16 log cabin blocks that will be arranged in the not-frequently seen star layout. How much material will I need of each of the pieces: centers, 2 or 4 lights and 2 or 4 darks? How big of a border should I use/how much material does that need? How big does each block need to be when finished, and how wide do my strips need to be. I'm working this out on paper myself too but I would be grateful if someone else could offer some ideas too. Website links are also appreciated!!!
Thank you so much for your time!

I love this site. Lots of different blocks and some really good instructions. This part should help you figure out your size and fabric yardage. http://www.quilterscache.com/StartQuiltingPages/startquiltingtwo.html

Are you planing on laying the blocks out into a friendship star? I have to warn you that 16 blocks for a Queen Size quilt means very large blocks. The quilt should be about 88x96. 16 blocks would have be be laid 4 wide and 4 high. You're talking 20+" log cabin blocks.

My first quilt on my own was a full sized friendship star log cabin quilt. My blocks were 14". I would never use such large blocks again. It just doesn't show off the pattern as well as smaller blocks. I'd use 6" blocks if I did another one -- 8" max.
