I am currently piecing a test block to see how my paper piecing instructions are working. So far so good. Hopefully by the end of this week or the first of next week I will have the paper piecing pattern to share too.
Thanks,

So I decide to recreate the block and this is my version. I call it "Candlequilter Star" and dedicate it to anyone and everyone who has used candle light to quilt by. It was very obvious in the picture danjfalke posted of the quilt made with this block that it was very old. I am not trying to take away from anyones design or anything. It is a beautiful quilt that he shared the picture of and this is just my version of that block. I hope whoever quilted that quilt many years ago is looking down with a smile on her face because that design is still bringing joy to people.

I will be working up directions on my EQ7 for this block. If anyone does come up with the original name please let me know. Again this is just my version that I am calling "Candlequilter Star".

That is beautiful, what a great tribute to quilters passed. Love the look of it and the colors you chose. Points are not my strongest so I'm avoiding all stars during my first attempts, but I'd love to see a quilt in this pattern with these colors.
