It is beautiful and the quilting is stunning. Holice, your quilting design is certainly used well in this quilt. It certainly shows it off!

I see it as an Ohio Star block that has been enhanced and set on point. It is the fabrics that make each block look so different.
The second picture in the link clearly shows the Ohio Star in the darkest block on the left. It stands out as being set on point, I have seen this block before, maybe in a book of star designs.

I agree, the quilting design is beautiful. The blocks remind me of the Royalty Block Variation from McCall's quilting. They are similar, but the centers are different.

Found it!!! Of course, the choice of fabrics, as others have mentioned, makes the difference but here's the block:

The only difference I see is she used 4 patch units in the corners. Otherwise, it's the same. McCall's quilting is a great resource.

Actually this looks like the Sunrise Star from McCalls...with some variation.
