I believe the quilt in your picture was made by Helen Urie Rowell, the grandmother of Natalie Kinsey-Warnock, a children's book author from the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. Her website: http://www.kinsey-warnock.com/ and a school presentation she did with the quilt :http://orchard.sbschools.net/library...nock/index.htm It has over 1000 points.

Hmmmm......

1000, you say? 1000 points? Sheesh, I never thought about counting them.

Well, we all need some LONG TERM projects!

Thanks for the info on that quilt!

I checked out this page, too

http://www.kinsey-warnock.com/

and realized that this quilt maker did not start quilting till she was in her 60's. Maybe there is hope for me after all, I feel like such a late bloomer sometimes.

I have a Mariner's Compass book that I checked out from the library that gives step by step instructions. The patterns in the book are for up to a 32inch center medallion and are paper pieced. It is called Mariner's Compass Quilts, Setting a New Course written by Judy Mathieson
I believe this book will give you something that would satisfy your urge to make long skinny points. I have the book and will someday make a huge medallion compass star.

Thanks Loretta but I think the original poster is looking for something more complex than my little star block. It might be nice as a border or corner block though if done in complementary colors.

You have totally lost me I'm afraid. I don't understand what you are trying to say. Mrs. Rowell, the grandmother, made the quilt pictured and she did not start quilting until she was into her sixties.

It was humor.

i'm sorry ghostrider. i meant that the project was so intimidating and complex that it must have taken a very long time to accomplish.

didn't mean to confuse you :oops:
