Default Help identifying quilt pattern
So glad to find this board! Thanks for adding me.

I have found a hand sewn 1950s quilt top but can't identify the block pattern. The pieces are all identical and are almost a bow (or nuclear reactor) shape. I bet you all will know it, and appreciate any help you can offer.

Thanks!

Welcome and although the pattern is apple core, I think nuclear reactor is a cute name too!

Apple core it is. And I remember my grandmother quilting with fabrics from the 50s.

Welcome, maxine! What a charming quilt you found. I hope to make an apple core quilt someday.
