    Not sure, I've done some searching, as have others, could probably draft it on graph paper if you want. I enjoy doing that.:)

    This is the best I can do with enlarging the star...it may be blurry but hopefully you can get a better idea of what it looks like.

    Enlarged photo of the star...well it didn't get larger as I had hoped.

    It appears to be some type of modified 8 point star times THREE!

    Barbara Brackman has it's name listed as "The Triple Star Quilt" in her Encyclopedia of Pieced Patterns. Can't Find a pattern but it could easily be drawn out on graph paper.

    Well, it's not like any block in Hall & Kretsinger's 1935 book!
    Maybe an original design?

    I don't think this is a triple star like in Barbara's book because of the way the points are on it.
