It's beautiful... and no doubt hand pieced. Wish I could help with a name but I've never seen it before now.

Thanks everyone. My first thought was Storm At Sea also but it's different. And Ube, I didn't even notice the second star before. My sister found one in Dear Jane, think it was called Wildfire or Fireflower.....it may be adaptable.
I was looking for an easy way so I think I will just forget about it and go on to my next project....the wall hanging swap.

...my favorite!

Apparently its from the 1930s, a Canadian Laura Wheeler designed it; she started in 1928 designing quilts. I got several hits in Google looking for quilt pattern "Wheeler". Did not find it in my Blockbase or Kansas City Star vintage patterns. Hope this helps.

Brackman's book calls it "Star" and "Star of the East" -- OCS/Wheeler being sources.

QuiltingNinaSue and Evie..... I found it on Pinterest .......thanks.....Star of the East is definitely the name. Depression era block and available on eBay. I think it is available from MJ Vintage Blocks. Maybe I will have to buy it!
