Texas Star

I have a book presented by Leisure Arts, published in 2001, call Encyclopedia of Classic Quilt Patterns and containing 101 patterns and instructions. It has this pattern called Texas Star and is said to be one of many associated with the Lone Star State and first published in 1928. The book contains the templates and full instructions as well as a color copy of the quilt. The quilt is referenced as being made by Mable Azhill Webb of Jackson, Tennessee. You might be able to find a copy in a library or on Amazon.com. Beautiful quilt; bravo for restoring vintage quilts.

I found 3 patterns in the Block Base 2 program that might be what you are looking for.

Thank you Dunster for the link - which also says Pentagon Star so that is what I will call my quilt which is "Tim's Quilt" at present. In my pre-internet days of 1993, I struggled as single mother with young child and couldn't afford fabric so I played with my templates and drew numerous patterns with Irregular Pentagon (Complete Book of Patchwork & Quilting for Australia & New Zealand 1986) - my patterns include fish, scissors, frogs, aeroplanes etc embarking on tessellations, which I'd never heard of back then!!

I appreciate that more than one person can have the same idea even though we might be worlds apart.

AS I WAS GOING THRU MY THINGS, I FOUND AN 8" TEMPLATE IN MY DESK OR "TEXAS STAR" THIS IS MADE BY ARDCO. THE WEBSITE IS WWW.ARDCOTEMPLATES.COM . IT SHOWS THAT IT IS MADE IN 8" AND IN 12". THERE IS A PRICE MARKED ON THE BACK FOR $ 11.95. THE TEMPLATES ARE METAL.. REALLY VERY NICE. .

For anyone interested in the irregular pentagon shape I've found my drawings from 1986-90 before I had pc and printer in '95, I had traced templates from the A & NZ book above and drew patterns such as: Bird House in Tree, Robot Man, Wheel Barrow/Pram; Air Plane I; Airplane II; Airplane III; Turtle; Cray Fish; Crab; Water Lily/Tulip/Lotus; Ice Cream in dish; Helicopter/Plane; Flower (as in some of those garden flowers named by others here; Fish x 2; Bird; Kite; Box Kites; Bows; Dogs I & II; Camel Kneeling; Caterpillar; Flying Bat; Chicken; Dog Running; Cow Kneeling; Scissors; DartBird; another Bird House/Mouse Cage/Letterbox and so on - it is a remarkable shape which only needs triangles, rectangles etc added to give greater scope - I obviously didn't have anything better to do in those days
