Thank you all. Will let you know the results of the quilt show at the end of the month she has entered it into. I will be biting my nails all the way to the end.

Finally got a full picture of the quilt and she won Best of Large Quilt Category at the Odessa Quilt show and I won Best of Machine Quilting. It was a double winner out of 215 quilts total. She is elated and should be.

It is also known as a strata star and several QB members have put up tutes for the center medallion. Here is one.

And here is a post that links to several tutes and some step by step pics

It was my bad, she did use the Oregon Trails pattern, but she had to figure out the log cabin setting and she did not applique as the pattern directs, she configured the piecing out for the four corners. This quilt is larger than the pattern.
