I noticed that many of the blocks in Maggie's book were the same design with a different coloration. Is it the design or the coloration that makes the block?
I agree with you about the Lone Star ....I'd assume it was one large, multi-diamonded, 8-pointed star, too! That's certainly what I called the one I made.
And I call all my smaller, pieced-in-a-block, 8-pointed stars "Ohio Star" or variations, too. I know what I mean even if not everyone else does, LOL!
In some of Barbara Brackman's graphics she seems to indicate that coloring does make a difference in the name of a block. In fact, the names I previously submitted were from several variations on that block. Who's to say?
If you know what you're talking about, and someone else agrees, in my book that's all that counts. :wink: :D
