Can you Help identify quilt pattern and possible age?
 

Need help identifying quilt pattern and age. Double sided with same pattern on both sides. Thin but heavy and large (about 120 x 104). Lots of hand stitching but not sure if all hand stitched.

Not sure if it has a particular name for the pattern. Just seems to me an old time srappy triangle quilt, or HST. Nice piece though, which I'm sure was lots of hours hand sewing.

Lovely!!

Well ... those are flying geese, except they're not, or they're supposed to be but the maker cut all the corners off - making the construction Much more difficult with a Y seam on every pair of geese.

It appears they hand sewed the rows of geese together, then machine sewed the rows together.

Interesting construction!!

It may be known as "thousand pyramids". It may be about 40 years old. Some fabrics look a bit older, but some fabrics look like calicoes from the early 1980's. The Quiltmaker may have had a lot of older scraps that he/ she acquired through the years.

I agree with Grannie Rosie, I think they are simple HST but I feel the maker assembled it like 1000 pyramids. Flying geese typically would have a seam going down the middle of the white triangles and 1000 pyramids are typically made with 60 degree triangles not 45 degree as this quilt is.

It also looks like it was assembled using an English Paper piece type method judging by those stitches that connect the pieces.

At first I thought it was 2 duplicate quilts sewn together (back to back) - shows how little I know! Now I realize the triangles on the back exactly match those on the front, so the quilter obviously took a "square", folded it in half diagonally, then stitched it to others in a whole row, then attached it to a whole row of white triangles, then another row of print triangles, etc. to make a double sided quilt that matches the front.

You're right, now that I look closely, that's just what they did. Still an awesome quilt

What a beauty! They did a nice job piecing and especially the hand quilting.
It doesn't look very old to me by the fabrics I'm seeing. Maybe 30-40 years?
Some of that fabric looks familiar to me from when I started quilting (80's)
And I love the border/binding!

I wonder if it's Ten Thousand Pyramids....

Just saw this one made this morning on line on The Midnight quilter. The way she did it it was done in one night with a package of strips and a white background fabric cut into stripes. Beautiful quilt.
