This was in a shop that was selling patterns, fabric and all the quilting notions.. When I inquired about the pattern for the large star piece - the woman in the shop looked at me like I had asked about something that I should not have asked about. I did find a book that was printed in 1981 - but it is no longer available.
I would greatly appreciate any guidance that you could give me. Many thanks -

by the way, you would have to start with a much bigger piece of paper.
i think the width should be the same as the size you want to end up with. you'll have to experiment with that.
