The piecing and hand stitching was amazing - and there were many patterns that I could not identify. I would love to reproduce one....but for me, would be easier if I had a pattern to follow.

Anyone recognize this pattern?

I have seen it in old books, I think it is a variation of either "North Star", or "Star of Bethlehem". (possibly "Shining Star" or "Star of the East"?)

I actually found the pattern. You can go to www.Fabricshack.com

Once you are there go to search and put in Mountain Star. You can buy the pattern for $3.50. They are dealer of the original Mountain Mist patterns I guess.

Happy hunting.

i found this link...

Another great find:
Here's the link to this specific pattern:
http://www.fabricshack.com/cgi-bin/S...es=0&lastmenu=

I called to ask why they didn't have pictures of most of the other patterns, so maybe they'll get around to scanning them in. Maybe not. I mean, really, who is going to buy a pattern without a picture! :roll:

And it seems the quilt that SDQ saw was made in the exact same colors used in the published pattern (1932)

i was wondering the same thing mts. i also found the pictures all blurry so they were of little use. guess you only go there after you see the quilt and know the name of the pattern you want. snicker

Snicker is right. She said the pictures were the only ones that MM supplied . :roll:

I ordered the pattern over the weekend. I think we all figured out (well, those that bothered to read this whole thread) that it was all appliqued. I'm really psyched about somehow updating the pattern with more contemporary techniques.
