Need help with making Quilt pattern
#1
Can someone make a pattern from this Quilt as I would like to duplicate it.
This Quilt was made sometime before Aug 1854 by my 3rd great grandmother Celia King Schrock. She was born in 1796 in South Carolina and died 20 Aug. 1854 in Matagorda County, Texas. So she made this Quilt sometime between these dates. The quilt is still in our family. Celia died her own fabrics.
If you notice there is 10 points to her stars. Thats where my difficulty comes in to making a pattern.

One way to do it, which is probably not the best way, but what I would try - take your pictures of the quilt block, blow it up to full size of what you want your blocks to be. Make several copies. Start cutting out the pieces and add a seam allowance. You should have a fairly accurate pattern to use.
Probably there is some ruler to buy, or a pattern to buy, but I would try my method first!

That is a beautiful quilt. When I see something I like, I always copy it and blow it up, give the pices a number and work from there. This is a mug rug I made from a picture here on the board. I did not add all the other stuff to it because I ran out of fabric. Just wanted to use up some scraps.

I don't have any of Barbara Brackmann's books but I'm pretty sure others here have access to them. This work was probably all sewn with drawn & traced cardboard templates & hopefully someone will post a link to the original pattern. What a treasure!

There is 4 squares in the quilt. Each circle is 36", with 10 star points.
A circle is 360 degrees, so the points would be 36 degrees apart.
Thats about as far as my 73 year old pea brain can figure.
Thanks every one.
Will let you know if I succeed making the pattern.

A few questions:
What's the diameter of the center circle? And what's the diameter of the larger circle?
The pieced diamond looks like it's made with 45 degree diamonds - can you verify that with your ruler? The construction of these diamonds is the same as for a Lone Star.
Also, how wide is the pieced diamond across its center? And for the dark narrower diamond? The length for both?
And then, it's just a bunch of calculations. ;-)
