Does anyone know what pattern this is?
Close up of Vintage Block [ATTACH=CONFIG]170120[/ATTACH] Reverse side for view or piecing [ATTACH=CONFIG]170121[/ATTACH] |
I looks like a lone star, but with 9 pieced diamonds?
Very unique looking. |
Looks like that to me too. Rather than having the normal 45 degree diamonds (360/8), you would cut 40 degree ones (360/9). Unfortunately, you would need to cut your own template as I don't think there are any 40 degree rulers out there.

:lol: At the time that block was made, I doubt if there were ANY degree rulers out there.

Lone star I think.
|
Spectacular is what I would call it. I am not being funny. That is terrific.
|
What year do you estimate this to be?
|
wow - is it hand pieced ? it's really terrific. I would guess it's a Lone Star variation.
|
Known to me as Missouri star--a variation on Lone Star that was popular in the Ozarks----
I think 30s and 40s was when Sadie made hers. I saw it at her house in the 70s.... |

I have my grandmothers quilt with the same star I think. She died last year at 102. I wish I could ask her.

Lonestar, 30's -40's fabric but could have been made later. You can hand wash this by soaking it in oxy clean or efferdent over night then wringing out in a towel and let dry outside with a sheet over and under it til damp then press dry.

Lone Star; I've also seen it called Bethlehem Star.
Perhaps, like me, the quilter had a "lone star gone wrong" and her solution was a 9th diamond arm. |
