Does it have a name besides Nancy's Fancy???

Hi Patsy, it's possible that it has another name. It was (first?) published in the May/June 2007 issue of Fons and Porter. Here's a link to the issue/article:

Hi Brenda, hmm...well the fabric is from all over the place. Two are from my grandmother's stash. And the rest are from Germany (where I live now) and also from some quilt shops in the US from when I visited. The main focal fabric however (the paisley-like one) is "Serenade" from Kate Spain...there are a couple of different (all equally beautiful) colorways of that fabric. The block is called Nancy's Fancy and it was apparently first published in the May/June 2007 issue of Fons and Porter (see link above). Hope this helps!
@Everyone: Thanks for all of your lovely comments about my quilt. You've really made me smile. :-)
