help finding pattern
I had someone approach me about making a quilt for them; she asked for it by the name of Nautical Star. I did a little research on Google and couldn't find one by that name. Has anyone heard of a quilt by that name? I would appreciate any help you could give. Thank you.

did she mean Mariner's Compass perhaps ? I have done a Swoon quilt with a Nautical Theme personally but I doubt that is the one she was talking about LOL

The second posted site (flickr) almost looks like a S&W. Both are very pretty

I did message her after seeing the differing types of patterns under the same name, and I asked her if she knew what she wanted or if she had a picture. I think we may need to work together pretty closely to get it as she wants it.

google images of a Nautical Star. It is a standard 5 point star but each point is split into two colors.

You can find paper pieced patterns on line. Here is a 10" one http://hotpinkpeonies.blogspot.com/2...lock-five.html
Edited to add, that Judy Mathison's book Mariners Compass Setting a new course gives very good instructions on how to draft one as well as draft any Mariner's compass. If you are interested in making Mariner's compass quilts that book is a must have.
