I think because when you see it in person it is just wonderful.
I think in the pictures of both those quilts, though, the star is actually a LeMoyne, not the the HST block cheater version - basically a Sawtooth - as shown on Quiltercache.
Not there's anything wrong with it. ;-)
But it would make a difference in how those petals are placed and would look using the star as the background.
I'd never seen this block before. Thanks for posting it.
Both are lovely vintage family quilts.
