Henry Ernest Dudeney/Puzzles and Curious Problems/199 - The Hidden Star

by : $199$

 * The Hidden Star
 * The illustration represents a square tablecloth of choice silk patchwork.
 * This was put together by the members of a family as a little birthday present for one of its number.
 * One of the contributors supplied a portion in the form of a perfectly symmetrical star,
 * and this has been worked in exactly as it was received.

 * But the triangular pieces so confuse the eye that it is quite a puzzle to find the hidden star.
 * Can you discover it, so that, if you wished, by merely picking put the stitches,
 * you could extract it from the other portions of the patchwork?
