Does anybody recognize this barn quilt pattern?

My cousin saw this in KY close to where they live, and he took the pic for his wife so that she could make a quilt like it because he loved the pattern of it. Now she and I would like to know the name of it. We could make one by copying it, but having a name is sooo satisfying, isn't it?:p |
I don't know the name but I agree. It sure is pretty.
|
Wow, it might be an original.
|
If it is close to where they live, I'd stop in and ask them. Most of the quilt barn books/guides have indicated the owners of the blocks are welcoming to people that stop and talk about the block as they have special meaning to them. It looks like it would be paper pieced to me.
|
I have never seen anything like this block pattern.
|
It might be a version of a Mariners Compass made to fit a square shape rather than a circle?
|
Thanks everyone, for your replies, I'll pass on the info to my cousin. We do love this design.

It looks like a variation of the Turkey Giblets. (The 8 center triangles are a different size in proportion to the block, and the other shapes have altered angles). The description also states it is a type of "counterchange" pattern.

Don't know actual name, but it could be foundation pieced in four sections then sewn together like a four patch.......not by me though!
|
Love wooden barn quilts!
|
Thanks JenniePenny, it does kind of look like it somewhat. I'll pass that on to my cousin also. I'm going to see if my DH can draft it for me, he's pretty good at doing things like that. Then I can figure out what size pieces I need to make the quilt.

some of the barn quilts around here are often just nice pictures, not necessarily quilt blocks at all.
that's irritating in a way i can't quite put my finger on.... i like that one though and i bet it is a block! aileen |

Cool block! I don't have a name for it, but I did draft it in EQ7. I'm including a JPG and a PDF for paper piecing. The PDF includes a quarter block; the finished block size is 12".
|
Thanks Lynda!
|
That is really neat Linda! Debbie JJ, it's good to see you on here!!!!!
|
Thank you so much LyndaOH! You just saved me a whole lot of work.....I really need to get EQ7, but I usually don't need anything from it, I can find (most of the time) what I need by looking here on the QB or googling it.
Hi TacoMama, good to see you on here too. Are you going to the Floriani seminar at Willow Tree Fabrics on Nov. 14? Please PM me. I use a lot of my embroidery designs in my quilt blocks. |
Would Be easy to paper piece . You would have to make it in eighths into quarters into the whole block. Draw it out and paper piece it would be my suggestion.
|
My pleasure - glad I could help!
|
LyndaOh has the pattern
