Must Be Missing Something?
Wilmington Fabrics has a free pattern that according to their YouTube tutorial, "You can pick up at your local fabric store or download from the Wilmington site. The pattern name is, Starburst.
Wilmington even has a YouTube tutorial for this pattern. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-yZu6FJcYQ For the life of me, I cannot find the pattern to download. The Wilmington website has a pretty picture of the pattern sheet but I cannot see where to download, I'm wondering if you have to be a retailer, but then why does the YouTube direct that you can download from the website?
Has anyone here had any success in either obtaining the pattern from their local quilt shop or been able to download it from the web?

I found this pattern in a kit version. The picture shows simple piecing so you can probably figure it out on your own.

I don't use Google I use Duck Duck Go search engine. I get better results and no tracking of searches.

I couldn't find it at FreePatterns. Would you mind posting the link to the page where it is? Nothing came up on search at the site.

I figured out the pattern by taking pictures of each different part in the YouTube video. The measurements are very clear because they are laid out on a 1" grid cutting board. I took the pictures and made note of the measurements of each finished part. In order to draw it in EQ7, I had to combine the 4 blocks that made up the corner blocks and draw them as a single block that is 20x20 finished. There are 4 parts to each corner, so will be easy to piece. The strips used are 2.5 inches that finish at 2 inches.
The block size changed for the middle and instead of the 10 inch blocks that were part of the 20 inch corners, they became 8 inches to make the center star. I drew this as an 8x20 inch sashing leading to the middle solid color block. All the strips in these finish at 2 inches. The first border is 5 inches wide on the top & bottom and 3 inches wide on the sides. The next border is supposed to be a pieced border. The piano strips are 2 inches wide finished. The top & bottom border is 5 inches wide finished and the sides are 4 inches wide finished. When you add the binding of 1/2 inch finished, the quilt should measure very close to 63x69. My version of the Patriotic Starburst but without the piano border.
Edited to add: Hancock's of Paducah's version has square corners. I have no idea where the difference is in the measurements between my version & the official one. This is my version of the free pattern.
