You are correct...it is a traditional pattern, I actually have an antique quilt with that pattern. It is called arkansas star, I believe.....I have the pattern for it using a paper piecing pattern one can print from the printer.......
..and yes, when the first periwinkle from MSQC was demoed with their foundation paper...the points would be cut off....ask me how I know that...I had to redo to keep those points....then the directions in the book, I believe, were changed to give that extra 1/4" and save those points.....
Sizzix also offered a die for this "kite" shape....can be used with MSQC papers.......
