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.

I found several names for that pattern in the book5,500 Quilt Block Designs by Maggie Malone. they are Eisenhower Star. Stair Step Quilt, Little Girls Star(KCS), Pennsylvania Hex (WD) Star Bouquet (HAS) and Morning Star. Hope this helps!

Finished!....except for attaching the label. I opted to call it "Rolling Star", but I sincerely appreciate all the input. Someone said it was a variation on "tumbling blocks, which it is, but not obviously so. I'm making a mini-scrapbook of the progression to completion, and will list all the "possible" names in it too. This was a real learning experience for me.....this has so many bias-cut pieces that it stretched like a rubber band!, which resulted in waves of fabric in the top and bottom borders....not fun for LA quilting. But perseverence has prevailed. Thanks again for everyone's help. I love this Board.

This quilt design came from a group of designs using what is called "Hexagons gone Wild". I can't remember the name, but it is made with these templates. The templates also make tumbling blocks, I only know because I took the class and have the templates. The star pattern is named something like Freedom Star.

You did a great job! I just picked one of these up at the St. Vincent De Paul for $4. I am going to quilt it at some point. First I have to remove the ugly '90's fabric someone bordered it with. Very bad!
