BUT ... it isn't as tricky as it looks - IF you remember to not sew all the way to the edges of patches that will join at a y. (guess who forgot and had to reverse-engineer about half her blocks. :lol: )
i found the block in a back issue of Quilters Newsletter Magazine (Jan-Feb 1995). i bought a CD (QNM Block Factory) last year that has the patterns from issues published between 1995 and 2000. (If they've put out a CD with issues from later years, i haven't been able to find it.)
it's also included in Barbara Brackman's Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns and the Block Base software you can get to go with the encyclopedia.
i haven't found any links to totally free patterns for it, but there has to be one somewhere. :?

I KNEW I SAW THAT PATTERN SOMEWHERE..... Free pattern called Four-Patch Christmas Star at http://www.freepatterns.com/list.html?cat_id=438 - It is just the block, but the same as the Indianapolis just in Christmas fabrics!
