The Lone Star quilt block pattern is one of the oldest and most easily recognizable to Americans. There are many variations of these quilt block patterns, including stars that have six points, eight points, or more.

Lone Star isn't the only name for these quilt blocks, though. This pattern has been referred to The Star of Bethlehem, The Blazing Star, The Morning Star, and was also known the Mathematical Star in England and on the East Coast.

Before the age of sewing machines, these quilt block patterns required a high degree of aptitude to complete, because every little diamond has bias edges. Not to mention the triangles and corners are typically set in with the "Y" seam, so if the quilter was not careful, she could easily end up with a cock-eyed or crooked star. In fact, one might be able to find such handmade stars in an antique shop, because such handmade quilt blocks are incredibly rare these days.
