Need help identifying a block
 
1 Attachment(s)
This quilt came up on my Facebook feed, and I quickly screen shotted it, but don’t remember which group posted it. I’ve googled everything I could think of to find the name of the block/quilt and instructions for it, to no avail.
So I’m turning to my wise quilting board friends-since you guys are so knowledgeable about everything quilty, maybe one of you will be able to point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance xox

What a beautiful baby quilt... reminds me of the lone star quilts.

Try "Star Gazing".

Look up HST patterns and you will see your pattern pop up.

Yes to the half square triangle suggestion by Scalloped. If you don't find this specific pattern, you can draw it out on graph paper using HSTs.

This is what I found doing a quick search. I think this is the pattern you are seeking.
Go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OLrB7V_edc then scroll to about 7:25 minute and ta-da there it is in two colors. You can change the colors to match the photo you have.

I am sure that there are many other sources for this quilt pattern.

While something similar could be made with HST's, I believe this quilt is based on diamonds. I think it's a special coloring for the Lakota Star quilt design.

I think dunster is right. I looked up Lakota Star and it appears to be the same design. The ones I saw were larger but the same pattern. And I agree that it's made with diamond shapes and not HST although you could probably adapt it for HST.

This is why it isn't made from HST's. Pardon my shakily drawn straight lines. I've drawn where seam lines would occur if the center were made from HST's. Notice that you can't make HST's outside this square to complete the design. In other words, the opposing corners of the diamond shapes don't form a grid, as they would with HST's. They form a circle, as they do with a Lakota Star.

I think it is a variation of Lone Star.
