Name that Block!

I am restoring this old quilt for a co-worker and can't find the name of the block
anywhere. The quilt is supposed to be about 75 years old. Any ideas?
thanks.

Have never seen that one before but it is a nice design.

Maybe a variation of turkey tracks? It is very pretty.

Look at the 5th pic down very close http://seethesites.blogspot.com/2012...ed-at-sam.html

Probably a variation of a couple of blocks.

Do you need to know the name of the block in order to restore the quilt?

@ sewbizgirl... I'd guess the answer to your question is, no.

But, it is fun to learn about all the older quilts.

thanks.

Remember that we are a crafty bunch. The maker may have developed this pattern on her own.

I thought it would be nice after I am done to put a label on the back with the name of the quilt and the approximate
year it was made and of course my name and the date it was refurbished!
