    Nothing is coming to my mind about them but you could check www.quilterscache quilt blocks galore and see if you can spot them. Someone else may recognize them on QB.

    I know that the first one is the Martha Washington Star. Not sure about the other two.

    The middle one looks like a variation of " 54-40 or fight" set on point. All three blocks are really beautiful!

    I disagree. Martha Washington's Star is a 4-patch block; the one picture above is a 9-patch block. It is also far more complex than Martha's block.

    I'm still going through my reference books looking for all three (all three are 9-patch blocks).

    Pretty sure at least two if not all are in eq7 program. Will try and check it later.

    Looking in EQ7 this morning here is what I found.

    These are under the category of Variable Stars and Geometrics.

    First one is a "variable star and pinwheel"; second one is "variable star" (there are different ones out there); and third is a "variable geometric star/snowflake". Keyword here is "variable".
