That is a beautiful block and I agree with the others - great in batiks.

I know this as Tessalating Star. Spelled it wrong didn't I??

Thank you all for the info! I love the idea of doing this in batiks as well! Saw it at our local quilt show in Asheville, NC. My fellow quilting pals always task me with finding answers to our questions! You all are so great here --- have lurked for about a year, but this one brought me out of hiding! Thanks so much!
