I love the pastel star quilt from the quilt show posted by labug at
http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-111499-1.htm (9th photo).

Can anyone ID the pattern? Or figure out how to make the blocks? I'm stumped!

Thanks for any help.

I don't think I've ever seen that layout. It is very pretty. I hope someone can help you with it, as I'd also like to know. :-D :-D

As I look at it, it looks like the blocks may be set on point because of the setting triangles along the top.

Looking at the block on point, I've come up with something and will attach some very rudimentary hand drawings. It appears the large star may be pieced and then it has sashing around it. I don't know how to regularly piece one of the sashing parts because it is an odd size (3" x 3 1/2") so I drew a paper piecing template for it. I will be interested to see what someone else comes up with

The blocks are set on point. If you turn your head at a 45 degree angle [ LOL ], you can see that the block is pictured as below. I don't know that pattern name, but I hope this helps.

I see PWinston came up with a drawing of that very quickly!! However, the blocks on the edge are doubled. There is a single flying geese on the side, not doubled.

In my first post, I made it more difficult that it had to be. Based on how you pulled the block out, it is just a star with flying geese, squares and rectangles around it. You would just have to add a row of flying geese around the setting triangles to get the finish of the posted quilt.

I love that pattern too.

Thanks for helping me think about this. I think I would put the block together like this photo (cropped and enlarged--not nicely--from the original quilt photo): 8 flying geese blocks facing each other, the star block, and the square in the corner. There seems to be a strip of fabric between the flying geese. I'm sure there are other ways!

BLESS YOU, BLESS YOU, BLESS YOU...FOR COMING UP WITH A PAPER PIECED PATTERN. I LOVE PAPER PIECING, AND APPRECIATE ANYONE COMING UP WITH THIS TYPE PICEING PATTERN.

ANYONE HAVE A PAPER PIECED CARD TRICK PATTERN?
I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE ONE!

Helen...MO

This is how I envisioned it when I diagrammed the block - -just flip my first drawing over and it will be in the same alignment as your picture. The only problem is that the flying geese blocks are not typical flying geese. It is my belief that flying geese dimensions are typically that the height is 1/2 the width (i.e. 1 1/2" x 3", 2" x 4", 3" x 6"). The geese dimensions in this pattern do not meet that standard criteria. Thus, my reason for paper piecing those units since I do not know how to traditionally piece non-conforming geese.

Okay, I didn't realize that about the geese! Back to the drawing board!

Card Trick isn't hard to make into a paper pieced pattern, just get a piece of graph paper and go for it.

Funny, someone else did it the same time as I did. Here is what I came up with.

They can all be half square triangles.

Then a border around the star, the border is about half the width of the small sashin on the outside border.

And small sashing in center of outside geese border.

I just studied this area of snippet in PhotoShop on my Mac, and enhanced a screenshot... I am not seeing the additional border... so could they have done a 2-pc-fabric for the part of the HST where it looks like there is a small gap between the little triangles?

Duhhh!!! I was limiting my thinking on this. The block is the one that you centered in on and as I had pictured in my rudimentary sketch except that I did not draw the correct size flying geese for the non-star portion of the block. The flying geese in the "sashing" or non-star portion of the block are 1 3/4" x 3 1/2" (that is assuming an 8" star). The finished block would be 11 1/2" square. If you make it this way, you just set the blocks on point, add the setting triangles and you've got it finished.

You can make it the way others have shown it, however, they do not take into consideration the extra row of flying geese on the outside blocks. If you make it that way, you would have to add flying geese to the setting triangles.

OK, this has worn me out. I'm happy with our rendition of the block.

That makes it very clear--thank you!

You quilters are an awesome group of people! Thank you so much for working on this problem :D

It took me awhile to figure out what you meant about the setting triangles. Now I get it - thanks for showing me the flaw in my quick pattern.

So, I tried just doing the one side & bottom, then making it into an entire quilt, and came up with the same problem!

Finally I found if we did a setting triangle, it works. We would then need make corner setting triangles with 2 sets of the side geese.

Wow! That's fantastic, grammatjr! You really put your thinking cap on. I appreciate it. I will save this information and really want to try this pattern.
