Default What Block is This?

For quit some time now, Ihave been searching for the name of this block as well as how to construct it. I first saw it on Pinterest. It is by Desley, from Waverley, Melbourne Australia. She is a long arm quilter. The Quilt is named Cherry Chocolate and I just love it. Here is a link to the quilt http://addictedtoquilts.blogspot.com...chocolate.html

On her website, it shows Cherry Chocolate as being one of her original quilt designs. I couldn't find if there is a pattern available for purchase.

I Googled the block and found the person who pieced it. May she would answer your question. http://helenspatchworkpassion.blogspot.com/2012/12/cherry-chocolate-quilt.html

It's the same pattern, but not the same quilt. The quilting is different, and the 1st quilt shown - it is shown on the "My quilts" page - not the "customers quilts" page.

Given that there are two quilts with the same name in the same pattern ... it's possible it's a kit .... or one of them saw the other and duplicated it. The quilter is in Australia, not sure where the 2nd piecer is (she took a Tasmanian holiday so she might be "down under" as well).

Both are stunning quilts.

Doesn't look that hard to draft. Have you looked on quilter's cache? I know I have seen the star pattern somewhere. Will look tonight. The squares look easy, with just a 4 patch in each corner. Love the addicted person's colors. The darker tan really sets the colors. She has some really beautiful quilts on her site. Too bad she lives in Australia. The shipping back and forth would bankrupt me!

This looks like the Sunrise Star on McCalls website with a few modifications.
Hope this helps.

Thank you all for responding. I didn't realize that the longarm quilter was not the person who pieced the quilt. Thank you for the link to the person who did piece it. I have left her a message and am hoping to hear from her. I agree, I could draft the block myself (guess I am a little lazy). The McCalls Sunrise Star is a good starting point. For a little bit, I will be hoping to hear from Helenspatchworkpassion. It sure is a beautiful quilt!

It is a great looking quilt. If you come up with a place to get the pattern, please share with the rest of us.
