I have a book presented by Leisure Arts, published in 2001, call Encyclopedia of Classic Quilt Patterns and containing 101 patterns and instructions. It has this pattern called Texas Star and is said to be one of many associated with the Lone Star State and first published in 1928. The book contains the templates and full instructions as well as a color copy of the quilt. The quilt is referenced as being made by Mable Azhill Webb of Jackson, Tennessee. You might be able to find a copy in a library or on Amazon.com. Beautiful quilt; bravo for restoring vintage quilts.

Thank you Dunster for the link - which also says Pentagon Star so that is what I will call my quilt which is "Tim's Quilt" at present. In my pre-internet days of 1993, I struggled as single mother with young child and couldn't afford fabric so I played with my templates and drew numerous patterns with Irregular Pentagon (Complete Book of Patchwork & Quilting for Australia & New Zealand 1986) - my patterns include fish, scissors, frogs, aeroplanes etc embarking on tessellations, which I'd never heard of back then!!
I appreciate that more than one person can have the same idea even though we might be worlds apart.
