This was on the sign at our local greenway! I am so taken with it!! I can see the sixty degree star, and I am coloring what I can on my paper . .

the curves?

I have never seen this before, but I know that doesn't mean it didn't exist before I saw it!! Anybody recognize it? Have a fantastic easy way I can do it? Know where I should purchase a pattern?

much love, all of you wonderful answer-ladies!

My first thought was it looks like a combination of a feathered chevron star. Is there such a thing?
Along with others, Marsha McCloskey does feathered stars-she has books called Feathered Star Quilt Blocks I and II.

I think it is diamonds all the same size just colour arrangement make the difference. Should be easy to draw and then colour in to make pattern. If I remember the circle will just happen because you start from a star shape.

You could make the outer white ring from a strip set of white with chocolate at the end of the 60 degree triangle, and a triangle of chocolate with white at the end - again, strip set.

Will be a beautiful quilt! Keep us posted on your progress please!

The center is a lone star with interesting color placement. If you google it, there are lots of sites (note that it's an 8 point star, so the angles are 45 degrees, not 60). I would guess that you could make the center star following the pattern, on a large cream background, then applique the curved pieces and the additional diamonds.

Your post makes me smile.
Funny how we see a picture of something and naturally see a quilt block.
Good luck with your new creations.

I have that printed star diagram from fons and porter . . I am going to extend the diamonds so I can color the whole thing, then maybe transfer it to graph paper . . .

I penciled in the curve, and it does look similar to the picture.

Is it me, or are their last row of brown diamonds bigger?

PaperPrincess, you are so correct!! and, the paper I am using *is* the forty five degree star! brainBump moment for me, I guess!!

oh, I haven't done applique! <shuddering> not another kindergarten star!!! lol
