pattern name?
 

looking for the name of this pattern, tia

I don't know the name but I like it! Beautiful:)

pretty, sorry l don't know.....
Did you make the quilt?

I don't blame you. It's beautiful! Wow what a quilt. I want to make it too.

I will be following this thread to see if anyone knows, I want to make it too. It is beautiful.

dont know but sure would like one ,for me. beautiful joyce j

what a beautiful quilt! sorry, don't know the name

It's beautiful.

It's beautiful but I've never seen that pattern before. Sorry.

That is beautiful I would love to know it's name also. I will track this to see if anyone knows of it. Good luck.

Looks sort of like a fan quilt...but all the pieces are not the same shape...I hope you can find the pattern!

Looks like a variation of a clam shell. The shells just aren't stacked on top of each other.

Don't know the name but if you find out and where we can purchase let me know.

That is one beautiful quilt. No wonder everyone loves it. I do too.

It reminds me of a gingko leaf, but they are a solid color and kind of ruffled along the top edge.

I hope someone knows. It sure is beautiful.

Sorry I don't know either. Just wanted to say how beautiful the quilt is!

Wow, I would definitely call it an original pieced clam shell. Where did you find this picture?

The quilt itself is a mass produced commercial quilt sold all over the country through specialty retail outlets like the one linked below. I doubt that it is US made although it is US distributed. The company is Ko & Co., Inc. dba Elegant Decor of Norcross, GA.

They are not very likely to share the pattern details, imho. Does anyone else find it odd that they promote the quilt on the wrong size bed?

It does look odd, now that you pointed it out! I am wondering if they thought they could show off the pattern in the quilt better if it showed the corners? I think it would be pretty easy to draft...I would piece the strips together then hand or machine applique (can you tell I try to avoid curved piecing at all costs?? lol

ps..oops..just looked at the picture again an realized they are ALL curved pieces! lolol

What an interesting design!

I think I would draw my own clamshell templates, piece them, then turn the edges under with an iron and starch and applique them to a wholecloth top, with similar embroidery motifs.

Then I'd do some really spectacular quilting on all that white space. What a canvas for quilting designs! Woohoo! :D

Laying out the design on the quilt top would be the most challenging part for me - trying to get everything centered and perfectly spaced. A t-square and a yardstick compass could come in handy on a job like this.

Beautiful design. I think someone could figure out how to peice it .. Not me. Lol

i found it at a quilt outlet store in cherokee, nc and they let me take a pic. it was the last one they had and said they were no longer making this pattern. i will be contacting the company to ask for the pattern. all they can say is "no" :) thanks everyone for responding. maria

Looks like the large "clamshell" pattern made into this pattern.

I noticed that right away!!

What an amazing quilt. Makes me wish I had that pattern to reconsider the one I just picked for my bed. I will be watching as I hope someone knows it before I dive into the one I am planning.

Is the picture you took of the entire top? The one posted is the company's pic. Would love to see the whole pattern.

Very pretty quilt indeed. It seems like it would be possible to draw out your own version of this pattern (with a bit of determination, some graph paper and a lot of freezer paper!)

Does anyone know were you can buy the pattern at?

Read the rest of the thread. It's a commercial quilt. There is no pattern.

If, when you contact the company, they give you the pattern (since they aren't making it any more, according to your source) please share it if they will allow you to do so. I would love to try it. Is it something that can be simulated in EQ? I am not familiar with the use of EQ. One wouldn't have to copy it exactly but do something similar. Do we have an EQ expert who might be willing to try??? It certainly is a beautiful pattern.

Be careful when asking for the pattern. They could say yes, ship you the pattern and charge you a lot of money for the pattern. I do hope you are lucky enough to get it. Keep us posted.

That is a pretty design, and I'd like it too, if you get the company to send it to you. Good luck!

I don't know the name but it's beautiful.

I have looked for that name extensively, since I saw a photo of an antique version of it. No luck. From the age, I suspect that it was inspired by an Egyptian craze. I call mine Pharoah's Phan. I made mine as a simple wall hanging because I wanted to keep the pattern in my mind. I showed it to a number of quilters around my area who are "into" antique quilts. None knew it. One suggested that the maker may have made the only one. It was in a B&B where a friend stayed.

The hearts were my addition.

BTW, once I decided to do it, the drafting was not terribly difficult, but it was time consuming. The original I saw was all pale shirtings and tiny flowers. I decided that I wanted more contrast on mine. I started by drawing the outside curve around a plate, folded it in half , cut the outside and played around until I had the inside curves where I wanted them. I think I did 4 or 5 tries before I got it just the way I wanted it. If any of you want to download my photo and play with it, feel free.

beautiful - don't know the name but would like to follow this thread to see who does!

Each individual "fan shape" would be called a CLAMSHELL. But honestly, I've never seen them arranged in such a way... very creative.

I'll bet the antique was called a "Lotus" - they decorated the Singers from the 20's with a lotus design and this is what the art deco interpretation of a lotus is - a curve-sided fan, rather than the pointed petals you'd see in an Asian interpretation. In the 20's, our country had a fascination for all things "exotic."

The original photo doesn't appear to be showing up any more, but I might give it a try with EQ. I would learn a lot, because aside from drawing the motifs, I have no idea how to get them to the quilt top and arrange them where I want them. :D But, it might be fun to try.
