Block info please
 

Does anyone know this block name or quilt pattern?

No, but it's a beauty! Don't think I've ever seen a quilt exactly like it.

I found this one. Close enough for you? It’s called spiral feathered star in a Leisure arts book called Relax and Quilt

Rising Sun

This Pinterest page has great ideas on ways to use this block. It has some patterns that could be usuable.

Can't help you with the name game, but it looks to be a very old quilt.
I'm guessing it was a well talked about beauty at the time. And surely quite unique.

More importantly ... how's your wrist doing?
Hope it is mending and not causing you any added problems.
Sure bet you are frustrated though ... and anxious to get back in the quilting saddle again!! :)

I'm pretty sure that I have the Relax and Quilt book on order from Amazon this week....at least it goes by the same name. Wll let you know when it arrives.

Here is a link to a newspaper pattern and some history

I also go with Rising Sun and with Ruby McKim/Newspaper Patterns as a source. That's quite the looker with the white centers and red background!

What a beauty! Glad the others identified it. How's the healing coming along?

Thank you all for this info and also asking about the broken wrist. It’s slow healing or at least feels slow to me. I want to do more than I am so that in itself makes the days seem long. I must confess I feel like a whimp to complain but we had a change of weather with cooler temps, thunderstorms and I had to grit my teeth to not cry out with pain. I also have poison Ivy on the hand and arm that’s driving me up the wall. It is better on some fingers but I can’t reach inside to put anything on my arm/wrist. I take Benadryl at night to help with itching and sleep. I started taking that at bedtime since the Aleve or Tylenol wasn’t helping much so I could sleep. I have had 2 natural childbirths, a broken shoulder and leg but this wrist has really made me a whimp! My sister asked me yesterday how did I get poison Ivy. I reminded her that I was working in the yard, when I fell. The bed I was in had poison Ivy growing in it. My husband is always good to help me through whatever. He doesn’t have patience like he had in younger years or maybe he just didn’t have anything to be patient about-lol I like to do what I can for myself but when he sees me put a bottle of water between my knees to open with one hand, he takes it away and opens. Some things, a lot of things, I have to depend on him and I’m thankful I can. I sure will be happy when I can sew again. I was on my 49th quilt for Quilts of Valor, when I ran out of fabric. Got my fabric then had my fall. Dr said maybe 8 weeks so that’s all of May and into June- Please send me names of good books you have read, links or pictures of quilts to make, etc to serve my time, since I feel imprisoned, since I can’t cut & sew- BYW a lady in my sewing group sent this quilt picture bc she knows I like vintage quilts. I do like the modern way we now cut and piece though-lol Thanks again for the info. I wonder if the pattern pieces from the pictures could be traced and used. It seems after the circle was pieced it was appliquéd onto a big square or a large 4 patch square. I’m not afraid of sewing curves but I would like it to come out right….

I tracked down the book and found it on both ebay and amazon. the original is shown with white fabric alternating with colors but I especially like the quilt you have with all colors in the star. I'm ordering the book from amazon and hoping that as it came out in 1998 it can be sewn by machine, not by hand.

Hello Toogie ... First, quilting!!
DebLuvsQuilting’s newspaper link has the pattern pieces and directions for 12” blocks. You need to enlarge the pattern pieces to size. Could even go larger (16” block?) if you wanted. Otherwise, the work is done for you, instead of trying to trace from the photo and with all those curves, it would be way too easy for it to be wonky from the get-go. I’m sure that you could do it by machine. Kind of like a big Drunkard’s Path project! Without a doubt, it would be a great scrappy quilt and oh what a real treasure that would be!

You asked for reading material … that newspaper link has lots to occupy your time. Old “Quilt Journal” publications, newspaper clippings, quilt photos and quilt stories. And Much More! An incredible resource site for everyone.

Thanks for your wrist update. I’m sure you are counting every.single.day! It’s OK for you to feel frustrated and feel like you are a wimp. But that you are NOT!! When I get like that, I just say I’m having a pity party, with hopes I can find something to refocus on QUICKLY!! 😊

Going from independence to being dependent for sure, is a total annoyance. Your husband’s frustrations could be partly because to him you look/seem/talk as though all is normal and good. Just that one “paw” has a problem, and he doesn’t notice it.

Poor you to be dealing your broken wrist is bad enough, but OMG poison ivy along with it. Horrors! Not wanting to give you more to fret about, but if you haven’t already, perhaps you should be in touch with your doctor. It’s hard to know what might be festering inside the cast and the sooner the better that be dealt with.

Keep counting down to cast removal date!! And then I am guessing there’ll be physio? When that time comes, be sure to tell the physio you want it based around things you can do for quilting! 😊

Things will get better!! Meanwhile, you know you have a whole bunch of quilters here, cheering you on, Toogie!

have pm'd you

I talked to the lady Emily, that sent me the picture of this quilt. I was trying to find out the block size. The quilt belongs to a friend of Emily’s cousin. She measured the outer circle and said it’s about 17 inches across. I’m thinking it may have been as large as 18.5 with turning the edges to Applique , quilting and washing over time. Anyway, Emily said that her cousin and the lady are coming Thursday to our sew day to Show & Tell about the quilt. I will pass on any info you all have provided.

QuiltE- thank you for all your info. I can’t find the link you spoke of, but it would have been nice to bring the pattern with me Thursday. Also, about the poison Ivy. Nurse said the shot to help dry it up was cortisone and I refused bc not good for my bones. I’m still toughing it out, although hubby wanted me to go back to dr.

Hello Toogie ... Good to know that you did talk with the nurse about the poison ivy concern. Just too bad there isn't something they could do to help you that you'd feel "safe" with. I've PM'd you about the pattern.

It's so hard to be incapacitated. I know this as well. I had my knees replaced in July and November and I was on the sofa with ice for a long time! I was bored and frustrated but the pain limited me to do anything fun. I ended up watching a lot of Youtube videos on quilting, cooking, etc just to get through the days. You'll get there, friend! HUGS

Oh, sorry I can’t help but! This is what I’d like to do, try to find a pattern from a picture. Please help if you can explain how you got the picture in your post. I can’t figure it out. Thank you!

I found the spiral feathered star in my book Big Book of Scrap Quilts. Blocks are 11 1/2 X 11 1/2”. Thank you for showing your picture. I’ve recently started hand piecing and I think this one would be a good one for that. I’ve cut a sampler block out and will begin piecing to see if my theory is correct.

So sorry to hear about your broken bone! I guess I missed the posting about that happening. And then add itch to pain--oh, my! I hope this isn't the wrist of your dominant hand.
As to reading material. I am not a reader, I'm a crafter and want my hands busy. But I love Amish stories and a few years ago I bugged the local library for anything written by Beverly Lewis. I had to make notes to remember who was related to the other but good stories. Also all of the books by Laura Ingalls Wilder are easy reading and good stories with no cuss words. Like one of my friends commented, some of these books would be half as thick if they'd leave those out! There is one of the Wilder books that tells a lot of how they made what they needed for life at that time and that was interesting.
I enjoy the books with big print. They seem to read faster.
So glad you have a helpful hubby. Bless his heart!

I worked on my practice block and would post a picture but I don’t know how to change the size to be acceptable. It really wasn’t a hard one to hand piece after the first couple of “blades”. But the pieces are kind of small so I will enlarge the pattern a bit. I really enjoyed sewing it so will experiment with it a bit.
