A block name without an illustration for it - - -

This started when the cheap "handmade" quilts from China were being sold in catalogs and online. They would take a perfectly good Log Cabin and name it "forest home" or some such nonsense. And so on with a lot of traditional patterns.

My MIL belonged to a quilt circle at her church. There were ladies that came from all parts of the country as well as one from Germany-one from Japan. One quilt they made was an eye opener. They were asked to make the same block with a finish size . There were 26 ladies and when they brought their finished blocks in there were 23 different styles of this one pattern name. The 3 that were the same were made by 2 ladies from Tennessee and 1 lady from Kentucky. They named that quilt 'Our Differences Make Us One'' This quilt auctioned off for $12,500. the money went to a women and children's shelter. These quilting ladies made and donated all their quilts to many organizations. They would auction off between 8-12 quilts a year to raise money for so many wonderful causes.

Someone did! On Google, pick the "Images" link, click the little camera to the right of the search box and it upload a picture. It will search for similar pictures.

I find the renaming of standard old patterns still going strong today. Make it in a particular color combo and give it a new name. I think sometimes enthusiasm gets carried away with naming patterns when what they should be doing is naming their quilt, not the pattern. If I make a D9P in pink, yellow and orange and call it Tequila Sunrise, then cool I have made a quilt named Tequila Sunrise in the pattern D9P, I have NOT made a new pattern called Tequila Sunrise.
