I love that quilt!! Barbara Backman says that the KC Star printed it as a Little Girl's Star and in 4/65, Women's Day called it Pennsyvania Hex. I am guessing that this is the Woman's Day version because she says, "set it concentric rings". I have seen it with a cluster of 7 of these stars set on a plain background. That way it is called 7 stars, (later called 7 sisters) and was published by the Ladies Art Co. in 1898. Whatever you call it, it's a great pattern. Thanks for sharing it. I loved it when I first saw it but forgot about it because it was way beyond my skills then. What a great way to use scraps.
