Obviously, one of the 2 blocks here is single Irish chain. There are several blocks that are only different from the other in color placement. Including 4X Star from Ladies Art Co, New England Block from Needlecraft Supply, 1930, and Father's Choice. I have also seen it called Turkey Tracks (a block name with a couple other designs attached.) If I recall correctly, a quilt from my great great grandmother was in this pattern. I would say the pattern qualifies as "old". It is also delightful. Thanks for sharing it. This old lady would be proud to claim it.

I went out of my comfort zone in the borders on this quilt, but from much inspiration from this board I am starting to do that a lot more. Thanks for looking.
