friendship knot quilt finished.......
 

Back in December, I posted this quilt looking for the name of this pattern since I'd never seen anything like it before....Leave it to the smartest folks around - I was told the name of this pattern is Friendship Knot. I figure that the quilt top is from the 1930s from the print. I finished this for a friend of my mom's. I also had to find a binding fabric. The 1980s dusty rose sheet on the back absolutely did not work! LOL!!

Thanks for looking!! And the quilt inspector on this quilt is LadyGrace :)

Very nicely done (even the dusty rose backing). LadyGrace obviously approves....she wouldn't just lie on any old thing you know:)

I love that pattern!! Gorgeous quilt!

The mother and daughter started the quilting and I finished it - Dusty rose isn't necessarily what I would have chosen, but it is what it is. The batting is an old flannel blanket, it's heavier than flannel sheets today.

Beautiful quilt, I love the rose color!
P.S. Is LadyGrace a Maine Coon? :-)

Yes on the Maine Coon...She is such a character and so animated!!

a great finish!

Very pretty! When I first saw it the picture I thought it was Whig's Defeat. It's similar to it.

That is absolutely beautiful. I am so happy for you that you had a hand in finishing it.

Lovely quilt. The quilt inspector is a real plus as well.

WOW that one is very very pretty. Nice job.

Beautiful, and such a cute inspector!!!!!

Beautiful quilt, what a great history! Lady Grace looks like she totally approves!!

i had to look up Whig's Defeat quilt pattern since I had never heard of that pattern either - You're right, it is very similar! And wow - Whig's Defeat is a very old pattern!!

That is beautiful....I love the hand quilting!

I love this pattern. I cannot figure out the square, will study it more. It is very pretty and you did a great job.

here's the square paulettepoe....it's hard to trace the lines in paint!! LOL!!!

Great job!

you did a nice job its very nice

Beautiful quilt, how very sweet of you to finish it for your friend. The binding looks perfect! And you have an even more beautiful Lady Grace! I had a precious purr baby for 18 years that looked so much like her

What is my Gryphon doing on YOUR quilt? I swear: your cat looks exactly like mine.
This is a stunning quilt. I've never seen this pattern before. Thanks for posting the detail of the block, although I still don't think I'm getting it.

Wonderful quilt, I have not seen that pattern before. Love the kitty also.

I played with this on notebook paper and pen. Came up with two block variations--- one with straight lines; the other with the curves of the original.

Jillaine - my picture on page 2 shows the entire one block. The finished size of one block is 16 inches. Your picture on the right I would consider 1/4th of the original block. There is no seams in the center. That last sentence may make more sense if you go back and look at the picture.

Very pretty! You did a nice job on it! :)

great job!

What a gorgeous quilt!
