I just finished making this replica of an Antique String-Pieced Eight-Pointed Star. The pattern is from Circa 1890 according "Scrap Patchwork & Quilting " by Marti Michell published in 1992

Elizabeth Phillips said… Hi Dee,
Thank you for your comment on my Maple Leaf Wallhanging. I made 2 of them after I saw the pattern in a magazine. The first I hand quilted and the second, this one, I machine quilted. I looked at our quilts. Such suberb work. I think that I like the appliqued flower quilt the best.
