Would Love To Know The Name of This Pattern. HELP???
I came across this quilt the other day and would love to know the name of it. Can anyone help me?
It looks like there are four patches, HST, and six patches in the quilt and it is in the form of a trip around the world.

Also the name of this antique quilt pattern

This looks like a trip around the world in the center but instead of squares, they are rectangles.
Also the border to me is impressive. This is a quilt I have and was hand-made by my DH great grandmother Higby in 1912.
Any help would be appreciated.

For the first picture. It really looks like a variation of Trip around the world. It should be fairly easy to graph. If you divide the quilt in half vertically, you can see that a row is made up of alternating 4 patches and half squares. At the center, they reverse order, so that you have two half square triangles together, It is more about placement than anything else.
Beautiful Pattern. Hope my explanation helps.

I think what you are seeing as 6 patches are actually 2 four patches with the colors matched. Same with the blocks that look like arrow heads. Just 2 HSTs where the colors are matched at the join. Should be pretty easy to duplicate, just the 2 blocks: hst & 4 patch with correct color placements.

The first one I believe is a Jacob's Ladder with the colours and setting different. Jenny Doan has just posted a Jacob's Ladder Remix in a youtube video for the Missouri Star Quilt Co. Have a look at it and see if it matches.

Your second quilt is probably the origin of Eleanor Burns Quick Trip Around the World pattern with an extraordinary border. Here is a link to Eleanor Burns' video on how to make the Quick Trip (uses rectangles with no seams to match up):

I didn't know about the second one as it was made in 1912 and I had thought it was an old pattern.

I expect it is a very old pattern - just as your antique quilt shows! Eleanor Burns has a knack for taking those old traditional patterns and writing instructions/videos/shows so that modern quilters can easily make them. I loved seeing your antique - it shows this pattern will be timeless. And the creativity that your quilt shows in the border tells us that quilters are always wanting to test their skills and make beautiful works of art. Thanks for sharing your quilt with us.
