    Linda, I've made that pattern in the past from a book by Jan Halgrimson, and she called it Rising star.
    Isn't it lovely?

    I would still call the pattern tumbling blocks, even though the fabric choices differ from the "standard" tumbling blocks arrangement. The pieces are still identical; if you look closely you can see that each white hexagon between the stars is actually made up of 3 diamonds, just as the stars are made up of 6 diamonds each.

    Such a pretty quilt. It's interesting to me that so many quilts from that time have the gingham checks in them.

    Maggie Malone’s book (p 350) has the block (a hexagon block) listed as Little Girls’ Star, Pennsylvania Hex, Star Bouquet Quilt, and Morning Star.

    A search of the MSU Quilt Index using ‘hexagon star’ as the search criteria resulted in 249 quilts of several names.

    One of the closest to the one pictured above is this one, titled Rolling Star using the Morning Star quilt pattern. It, too, has every other star point as a solid and a white hexagon.

    The Quilt Index is a great resource for info on vintage quilts…well worth bookmarking if you’re interested in that sort of stuff.

    It's interesting that the top of the quilt is straight, but the side follows the shape of the star. How are you going to bind it? They must have had a large piece of red, and it's great that the red has held its color. That is a great quilt.
