Hello Parrothead
Thanks for picture of your quilt. I made one in 1993 for my oldest son when first playing with templates and I've been trying to figure out it's name ever since - instead of diamonds joining the stars I used a larger hexagon and always thought it was my own creation - the Texas Star in some replies here might have led me to my quilt, but food for thought leads to variations. Thanks for your help in possibly naming my quilt :lol:

Rosyhf thank you for star names - Boutionniere sounded familiar but I can't find it in my old Maggie Malone books etc, so googled and came up with this "Star quilts, outside the box: hexagon patterns from the Kansas City Star By Edie McGinnis" Again very similar patterns, one with triangle instead of my larger hexagon separating star blocks - there are some pretty variations in Edie's book. I wouldn't have known of such a book in 1993 without the internet so still think my pattern was original - will explore further.

This site calls Ada Shiela's version the Texas Star. http://www.lizardofoz.com.au/Free_St...sh_piecing.pdf
Shiela - if you thought of it, then it's original. It doesn't have to be unique to be original. :)
