I think you're right. Now I have a label on my quilt with the wrong name

So glad the quilt was saved and that you have labeled it! What a wonderful gift for your brother!

Looks like a variation of the Drunkard's Path pattern.

My dear grandmother explained to me that the decorated sacks were woven according to what would be sold in them. Flour sacks were the finest fabric, then sugar, then grain, then feed sacks were the coarser fabrics. Baby clothes, aprons, and collars etc. were made from the finer fabrics, and coarser fabrics made warmer quilts. This was not hard and fast rules, just general use in her world. I love your quilt.

Boy people hate to have anything connected to the bible or church, But my cousin has a quilt named, Solomen puzzle and it is done in a real nice green and red. but not Christmas colors.

You know what the most important thing is? You have completed a top your mother started more than 50 years ago AND you labeled it with her name, etc. there are so many patterns out there and so often with multiple names, that no one is going to be worried about the pattern name. Actually if you Google Drunkards Path there are many name variations...Solomon's Puzzle being one of them. Good job, be proud of yourself!

Thank you. I needed that. While it never was and never will be my intention to leave the bible, church or God out of everything, it was simply an over site as to finding the name for my mom's quilt. I am at this moment trying to see if I can remove my label without damaging the quilt and replacing it with one with the correct quilt name on it.

I remember it also being called 'Dove in the Window'.
