Can anyone tell me the Name of This Quilt?
 
3 Attachment(s)
I recently inherited a quilt top that my Mom pieced prior to her death. I am going to quilt it and gift it to my grandson. However, I'd like to put the name on the quilt on it's label. I know that it is from an old quilting magazine in the late 70's. But I don't know what it's called. It is pieced in 3" blocks with plain red, plain navy, red handkerchief, blue handkerchief and white fabric. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
First picture is the full length quilt.
Second picture is half of the quilt.
Third picture is one fourth of the quilt.

Sorry I can't be of help, but it is beautiful and the work she did was so good.

It looks like a variation of Around the World.

that was my first thought, too... just the top and bottom halves connected at the opposite ends

The first picture is the total quilt, the second is half of the quilt, and third is one quarter of quilt.

It must be a variation on the Trip Around the World pattern. Just never seen the center of the quilt done on the outside edges. Great colors for a grandson. Simple to quilt. Look at my Avatar. Just stitch diagonally thru the center of the same fabric. This will accent the X pattern.

It looks like Trip Around the World that has the halves put together different to me.

I don't know the name of the pattern but your Mom did a really good job on it. It's super pretty. Enjoy finishing it.

Don't know the name of this quilt but it is beautiful.

My first thought was also Trip Around the World. But you can call it anything you want. How about Coming Home from Trip Around the World.

I like Coming Home from a Trip Around the World.

I like that name, also. Thanks for the kind words. She was a wonderful lady and taught me a lot in her 92+ years on this earth. I miss her greatly. There are six kids in my family. So my Mom made 6 lone star quilts and 6 USA state quilts. (In addition to the 100s of other quilts she made.) They had the state outlines, state capitals, state flowers, and state birds embroidered on a white background. She hand embroidered them all. She always had busy hands unless she was sleeping.

That is exquisite. Such precision in piecing. Beautiful.

Beautiful quilt. How about Trip to the Center of the World.

Me too, Trip Around The World.

I agree that it is a variation of Trip Around the World.

A great quilt.

quilter68 04-15-2014 06:54 AM

WOW! A real beauty. Thanks for posting this quilt.

It looks like the around the world variation called the Navajo quilt. Named because it looks like a Navajo rug.

Bonnie Hunter's Scrappy Trip Around the World. I used this pattern to make my first quilt. I loved it even though it was so WONKY...lol

I can't help but the quilt is gorgeous! So glad you're going to finish it for your grandson.

BrendaK 04-15-2014 07:54 AM

Beautiful. BrendaK

Absolutely stunning quilt! So beautifully made. Looks like Around The World to me, too.

MargeD 04-15-2014 11:02 AM

It looks to me like it is a variation of the Trip Around the World quilt.

Dodee 04-15-2014 12:51 PM

I agree - looks like a version of Around the World.

I also think it is a variation of Trip Around the World. Looks like it was split into fourths and then recombined. I would call it Four Corners of the World.

It is beautiful and I think it will be a great gift for your son.

Looks more like a bargello to me, but it doesn't look like it is made like a bargello unless the rectangular red and blue blocks would have a seam in them.

QandE2010 04-16-2014 07:34 PM

Thanks again! I love all your input. I'm going to put all the names in a hat and draw one out and that will be the name!

Halo 04-16-2014 09:50 PM

I don't know the real name of it, but I would call it cress cross around the world. It is a beautiful quilt.

pegquilter8 04-18-2014 12:06 PM

I agree. It looks like halves of a TAtW. One of my students actually did hers that way and it was striking.
Who knew?

quiltlady1941 04-18-2014 12:49 PM

Looks like trip around the world a little different,,,very pretty
