Noxall Sunburst

An interesting if challenging design.

Points plus 8 seams meeting in the center.

Published as Noxall by Hearth and Home magazine

about 1900-1910

BlockBase #3357

Noxall?

Apparently it was a catchy name, as in Knocks All the Competition.

Nox-All Hats

Noxall harness

And there was a Noxall flour

for which a small community in Missouri was named.

By Polly Tyndall from the North Carolina Project

and the Quilt Index. (1880-1920)

If one ring of spiky points was good two was better.

Another variation without a number or a name.

Just four seams meeting in the center.

Mariner's Compass?

A different proportion by the Curry Sisters from the North Carolina Project

and the Quilt Index, about 1880-1920.

You could piece it over paper foundations

I exported BlockBase #3557 into Electric Quilt

and drew extra lines going north/south and east/west.

Print this out on an 8-1/2 x 11" inch

sheet for a paper pieced arc. If the line

along the bottom and right sides = 7-1/2" you'll

have a 15" finished sunburst.

The inner triangles are template pieced.
