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?

The quilters at this site are so resourceful.

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.
