A CLOUD OF QUILT PATTERNS: AN ENCYCLOPEDIA OF PATTERN IN BLOG FORM UPDATES & ADDITIONS BY BARBARA BRACKMAN

Stellar Idea

Quilt from an online auction in a most puzzling pattern.
It's not just random; there is a repeat design in there.

One of several ways to look at it:
 Find the square block.

A star of diamonds
This detail showing the black-on-red prints with a stripe shirting indicates
it's probably from about 1880-1920.

There is this piece surrounding the square block,
a sashing.


A little easing would be required to get this to fit.

Another option is to look at this as the block.

A central star with four parts framing it.
And if you repeat those blocks you get the design.


Although what's going on along the borders is too much for me.

  1. It certainly is dazzling! Looks like pure hell to construct.
