does any one have this, layered star pattern

Are you talking about the folded star?
There are several different tutorials online for them if you do a google search for folded star quilt tutorial. There are even a few youtube videos on it.

I'm thinking of demonstrating it to my small guild next month.

Is this the one? Scroll down the page for the layered star pattern.
