Antique Geometric quilt designs

This is Block Star – an optical illusion quilt block created from a 12-sided dodecagon. This according to the information provided by the non-profit educational website Antique Geometric. There are so many interesting things to learn while you are visiting this site – like where a pattern first appeared in print, its category and links to other similar blocks in the index. Go to Antique Geometric and browse, it’s worth a trip. My favorite find thus far is Delft Mill.

Thanks goes to Lesly at Stitch Literate for pointing me to Antique Geometric where she found the Chinese Gongs block. I talked about it here.
