It's a treat to find an example that I have not encounted before -- the way in which each star is pieced here is scintillating! Tiny diamonds in white contrast with the indigo and the cheddar to give vitality to each pieced star. The pattern in each diamond appears somewhat diagonal, giving visual movement to the nine symmetrical blocks. Surrounded by Broken Dishes or Hourglass pattern elements in classic red and green solid cotton of the late 19th century.
