What is this pattern?
I got the quilt top at an estate sale for $15--actually didn't like the fabric choices and intended making it a charity quilt. But it finished out to be a queen size and after meander quilting, I found it very likeable--mainly because of the yellow. But I don't know what the pattern is. I machined it with varigated thread of gold, brown, yellow combo.[ATTACH=CONFIG]515792[/ATTACH] But I don't recognize the pattern. I hope the small center block can be seen (with pinwheel). Thx in advance for helping me put a name to it.

I know that as Variable Star from the Quilts, Quilts Quilts book, but without the pinwheel, just a solid block center. It was the first block I ever made in my beginners class. I'm making a baby quilt with some in it now.

EQ has the same info and no pinwheel in the center. Are you trying to make this block? Or just trying to get a name for it?

thank you all! I have finished the quilt (source of top in post above)...I just could not wrap my brain around the pattern name. I know I've seen it before, but couldn't recall a name. The maker of the top had passed away, and I actually bought 5 of her tops. I suspected she only worked with what she had in scraps, and the colors didn't matter so much if I was donating to charity. But this one I kinda like enough to keep for myself. The fabric colors don't display correctly in the photo, but the yellow is quite bright. Thanks to you all for helping me out. I shall now go further to identify the windmill block that's in the center.
