I have wanted to try a Star of Bethlehem quilt, but with a more modern design. The traditional pattern is an 8-sided star composed of strips of diamonds. If you search, you can find templates with a different number of strips for each point. In this case, I want to use 6 strips per point.
The traditional design uses an approach similar to an Around the World quilt - where the colors in the neighboring strips are shifted over by one diamond. This has the net effect of an almost circular color pattern in the star.
For the third quilt in this series, I want a few differences: first, to use all of the colors in the Eastern Oregon quilt series and second, to have all of the outer diamonds be a dark tone (black and grey).
