    Default Can you name this block?
    One of the quilters at my weekend retreat shared her great-great-great grandmother's quilt. In this photo she is reading some of the family documentation. The piecing was less than stellar, the wool batting was lumpy, the fabric choice was confusing, and the quilt is priceless! We had a great discussion about the invention of the sewing machine, the history of buying fabric for quilts, tying or quilting. Great day! But no one knew the name of this block. Do you?

    It looks like wild goose chase.

    I've seen it referenced as both Wild Goose and Inside Passage, depending on the placement of light and dark fabrics.

    I had to laugh at the picture. It looks like the lady on the right is praying over this quilt....maybe for the piecing?!! LOL! It's a wonderful old quilt though and I'm glad you shared it.

    What a wonderful piece of family history for the lucky owner!

    Do you know if it is pieced by hand or by machine?

    It looks to me like a variation of Flying Geese.
