This is a Star of Bethlehem variation made by Ellen Morton Littlejohn in the early 1800's. It is currently at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It's a bit different of course - but you get the idea. Ellen's Sewing Basket measures 88" x 88" and would make quite a statement on your bed or on the wall.
This and our other patterns for Independence Trail - Navajo Trade Blanket and Rambling Rose are now listed on our website for pre-sale. The patterns are at the printers and I expect to be able to ship in about 1 week.

Wow - what an incredible antique quilt!! I loved looking more closely at it on the Museum site - thanks for the link. Your reproduction of it is lovely as well. I wonder if anyone will attempt the stuffed work in the alternate squares :0)
Oh Yes, very nice interpretation indeed! Would that I could even come close to do a version using your pattern! Nice to see the museum site too.
Oh, I really like this! Beautiful!!!
Wow indeed, stunning! These quilts are beautiful. Thank you for the link.
I love your quilt. The star of Betlehem is one of my favourite blocks.
