I Herd Ewe

I just got the first quilt washed and laid out to dry. I washed it by soaking it overnight in the tub with powder made to clean antique quilts that I got from my LQS. This quilt was wet when I received it and you could see where the bright red pieces were running so I knew I needed to wash it ASAP. The quilt seemed structurally very sound but so dirty and yellowed to the point you could not really tell what the pieced block colors were. Turns out the quilt was not nearly as yellowed as I thought. The quilt back actually is a lovely lemon yellow! The binding is made by turning the back to the front. There is no other yellow on the front though some places the batting is thin to gone and the yellow of the back shows through. It actually cleaned up pretty well. I put some ColorFast sheets in when I washed it and was pleasantly surprised at how much of the red runs faded away and the red pieces are now a clear bright red that look like they never faded at all in all these years. I thought the pattern was a red cross on white background but it turns out it is some kind of star pattern--just couldn't distinguish the black and grey print fabrics from the dirty white. I suspect some of the piecework that still looks the same color as the white was a print at one time long ago. Maybe those will be distinguishable when the quilt is dry.

So does anyone recognize this pattern?
