Anyone recognize this pattern?
2 Attachment(s)
This was one of the first quilts I ever made, and I don't remember the name of the pattern. It's an octagon Kaleidoscope-type. Somehow the pattern also produced a number of small 4-piece (square) kaleidoscopes that you can see between the lattice strips. Also, there's a purple corner in each of the larger kaleidoscope blocks. (How did that get there?) Can anyone help me find the pattern?

It kind of looks like Warm Wishes in a way.

four-patch posie a square stack & wack
|
I agree that it's a variation of the 4-patch posie.
|
I think the main blocks are the 8 piece stack and whack. The 8 pieces stacked would give you 2 -4 patch pozy blocks out of the leftovers?
|
I agree with the others as to it being a 4 patch posey which is also known as a 4 patch kaleidoscope. https://www.connectingthreads.com/tu...lock__D20.html
The purple corners are snowballs. Basically, a small square of purple that you sew diagonally on each of the corners and then trim off the excess underneath. https://www.thesprucecrafts.com/snow...tterns-2821221 |
It looks like the pattern I have and its called "4-Patch Stacked Posies" it's by H.D. Designs . The web site on the pattern is www.hddesigns.net

Alas, we still haven't identified the pattern. Thank you for your ideas, but please note that the dominant blocks could be described as 8 patch posies.

I hate to say this about a beautiful quilt, but, honestly, it is so "Quilted" that I can't see much of the pattern.
|
Fortunately, in person you barely notice the quilting. The fabric colors are very rich and the design is very intriguing. Apparently the light of the camera flash made the quilting look far more heavy and dominant than it really is.
Isn't it funny how a camera often "sees" things differently than the human eye does? |

this is one i did years ago. still want to make another one.

Beautiful, nativetexan!
Four-patch posies are great! I've made several myself. What's confusing me is that the one I posted is made of 8 pieces rather than four. Can't seem to find a match via google, either. Darn! |
are you talking about the smaller ones? the cornerstones in the sashing?
the small corners of purple are different.looks nice though. |
The cornerstones are 4-patch posies, but the large squares are 8-patch. If memory serves (and it certainly may NOT), the cornerstones were a happy side-effect of constructing the large 8-patch units.
Does this help? |
Is it a Stack and Whack by Bethany Reynolds? If there are 8 pieces in the larger blocks, then they are 45 degree triangles. Very pretty
|
Thanks for your suggestion, alikigirl.
I have one of Bethany Reynolds' books at home. I didn't think it was the source of the pattern, but I'll take another, more careful, look. |
