    [QUOTE=ghostrider;4732331]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. [/QUOTE


    The quilt top is great--thanks for asking the question and thanks to ghostrider for her references. The quilt index is new to me. wow!

    You did a beautiful job on it, Linda. The borders are a perfect fit design-wise and it looks just right! I think you chose the perfect name...it looks so much like the 1936 'Rolling Star' one I linked to earlier. Well Done all around!

    How does a design get so many different names? Can each quilter just give it a name if she wants to? Depending on the color combinations this one really does trick the eye. Thanks for posting and I enjoyed the discussion.

    Antique Six-Pointed Star QuiltWell, technically, it is a Six Pointed Star - but so much easier to sew together when you make Nine Patch Tumbling Blocks first! Construction is discussed on page 16 of Six is for Hexagons, Volume 6 in the Encyclopedia of Patchwork Blocks.
