I have a book, Quilts from the Heart, with that patten in it. It's actually the one on the front cover. Easier to make than it looks. My mother made it for a christmas quilt -very nice!

here is Amazon website: http://www.amazon.com/Quilts-Heart-P...4339746&sr=1-2

I have a book called Square Dance by Martha Thompson (1995)

This book has many variations of the patterns that many people have searched for you. I would share if you are interested. As I am sure it is out of print.

Look up: Square Dance by Martha Thompson 1995
I found the very book I own. It ranges in price
from 11.00 to 180.00 (for a used book!!!) I have
a real treasure! Maybe I should sell mine, I could buy a yard or two of fabric.... Ha, Ha.........

Actually, I made a quilt out of this book. It was fun, but I was dissapointed on the fabric wasted.

The 9patch blocks used to make the quilt on the front cover have a different color layout than the ones used in the OP's quilts.

I love this quilt! Theoreticaly speaking: I believe it's put together with 4 1/2 inch light strips that are 2 1/2 inch wide and take a 2 7/8 inch medium colored square on one end and make a diagional line sewing down from the top right corner on the right side of the line then cut off the access. You sew two of these units together to make a rectangle. The star is made of 4 of these rectangles. Play with the arrangement so the half squares are on the outside, this will make the secondary jewel design. ;-) Give it a shot with scraps. You might also have to make mirror image units to place in the rectangel.

It uses very large blocks comprised of 16 split 9 patch blocks. The first 4 in the center with the darks turned to the center and the remaining 12 blocks are all arranged around the center and turned to form a ring.

Your layout will not result in the same quilt the OP is looking for (or the one MTS and I came up with). The central motif needs to be staggered.
