    Default Can you identify this block?
    This is a gorgeous antique quilt in my collection,dated 1870. It's in wonderful condition.
    I can't identify the main block though. Hoping someone knows?

    Thanks

    Sorry, I can't help with the block pattern, but for a quilt that is over 150 years old, the white is bright, the colors wonderful and the quilting is fantastic. What a wonderful treasure you have.

    When I looked at it, I thought it might be some type of "crown" block, but haven't been able to find it so far. I, also, wanted to add that the quilt is amazing for it's age. Thank you for preserving the past. I'd like to see a picture of more of the quilt and also, could you give us the size of the block? It might help.

    There is a block in the BlockBase which is Barbara Brackman's block collection called Hands all Around which has the outside star corners without the center break. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/297096906649288755/ The Center is just a square in a square. Sorry that I don't know the name. According to my calculations, the block is a 10 or 15 inch block. The pdf is my version I drew in EQ7.

    Here are more pics.
    I agree with Liz. It looks like a variation of Carpenter's Star. That was my first thought. Not sure though.

    Okay, I have to quit looking for your star block, Susie. I've downloaded 2 quilt patterns that I saw and liked. Just what I need. More quilt patterns lol

    I really shouldn't play in EQ7. I like the overall pattern and would love it as a black background.
