As many of you might already know a picture of this quilt was posted earlier this year that created quite alittle chain of events. People started looking for a name for the block and many found similar looking blocks but not anything just like it. So I re-created a paper piece pattern for it and called it the Candlequilter Star block. Well, the original owner decided to sell it on ebay and I am now the proud owner of this beautiful quilt that lead me to designing my first pattern and hopefully many different quilt patterns from it. Don't worry I am not going to take this quilt apart to see how it was made. I will treasure it! I feel that the person who made this quilt did it using the english paper piecing technique similar to the grandmother's flower garden.
Anyway, I am so happy and I thought those of you who have seen or followed this quilt story would like to know the happy ending.
Thanks,

It is indeed a beauty. I still have not finished my star to send to you. With hubby having problems with his back, he keeps me running. It just popped into my head when I looked at the quilt, you could substitute the square in the sashing for another small star. I can see you coming up with many versions. Thanks so much for sharing the journey.

Sherryl, that is so nice! And it's a beautiful quilt, lovely colours and it's nice to see the setting she used.
I still owe you my star. Will try to get it completed this week and off to you.
