Does anyone know where I can find a quilt block pattern that is a log cabin with a star in the middle?
I'm intrigued. When you say a star, are you thinking of a pieced star, an appliqued star, or perhaps a star that's drawn on or dyed or maybe on the fabric itself? And when you say a pattern, what do you look for in a pattern? I ask because log cabin usually isn't complicated enough to require a pattern. The center square can be any size, and the logs can be any width. It's one of those wonderfully adaptive blocks where you sew first and trim off the excess. But maybe you're thinking of something specific where a pattern would help.

Or do you mean where the layout of the log cabin blocks forms a star? Or there's a diamond shaped log cabin block that makes a star, also.

We might be thinking along the same lines. With the careful placement of lights and darks, you could use log cabin blocks to make a quilt with a star design. I'm going to google for this and see what I find.

In the center there is pieced star "the star is made of a center square then the points are like flying geese and in the corners are
4-patch. Then the log cabin strips around this at the end of each strip is a square piece. I not very good with piecing thats why I was looking for a pattern with directions for this block.Something like these might be what the original poster is looking for:

This pattern makes a 44" square block or quilt.

Something like the Log Cabin Star by the Kansas Troubles Quilters?
