Default ISO Star Log Cabin pattern by Carol Savage

Hi--in a terrific Craftsy class on Log Cabin Quilts, Nancy Smith shows a striking "Star Log Cabin" quilt (SLCQ) made by Carol Savage. The stars in Carol's quilt are constructed in the lattice strips between blocks--or possibly the last strips in the block--similar to Eleanor Burn's Star Log Cabin quilt (featured in her 1995 book by the same name). This is not the SLCQ variation in which the blocks themselves are arranged to form a large star.

Where these two quilt patterns differ is that Carol's stars appear to be made from diamonds (lemoyne star configuration) whereas Eleanor's stars are constructed with HSTs around a center square (Ohio star configuration).

I haven't yet waded through all 2000+ posts on LCQs on the Message Board ;->), although I have made a dent and will continue doing so, but for now I have come up empty and I am running out of time for a LCQ project with an immediate deadline. Is anyone familiar with this beautiful variation on the classic LCQ? Many thanks and HNY.
