I saw a quilt like that about 35 yrs ago in a Mc calls book called 'duck tracks'
good luck finding the name. as you know blocks have a bazillion names
at times when we are looking for it.

go to http://quilttrailswexfordmissaukee.b...ers-wheel.html It looks like it is all in how you use color to bring out different parts of the wheel.

I made that quilt a few years ago! Love it!!! I might still have the magazine. If you would like it send me a PM.

It could be Hands All Around, but I would check on quilterscache.com as they have hundreds of blocks in their library.

I have seen this block many times in magazines and books. I most likely have the pattern here somewhere but I don't remember the name.

It is the same block as this, but half the star bits are white, so it shows up as a pinwheel instead of a star.

It reminds me of "Scrap Crystals" by Bonnie Hunter.

I think I found it, it is called heavenly stars, you can find it on quilters cache

Bonnie's quilt does look very similar-I think we have decided this block is an old block, called Snow Crystals....from 1920. Bonnie mentions using broken dish blocks in her construction, but it still boils down to sewing all 64 squares together....so I will just keep plugging along!

That is the pattern! It says on the pattern that this block is also known as Snow Crystals....when I first started searching, I went to that site but didn't have any luck! I do like the version I am making with the pinwheel instead of the star-kind of gives it an updated look! Thanks for sharing...
