Does anyone know the name of this quilt block?
 
A friend of mine has this quilt she's trying to re-create, but she doesn't know the name of the block. I've never seen it before, and can't seem to find it online. Does anyone here know? It would be so helpful!

Don't know the name but looks like Dresden with WR center. Really like this!

It is a version of a Dresden Plate. Looks like it would be very easy to draft or create with EQ7. I did look through the blocks that come with EQ and block base and did not find it but did find this exact block by doing a google search for Dresden plate variation.

Reminds me of this recent post:

except every 4th blade is pointed, with a melon center.

On Blockbase, it is called Friendship Circle

I'd like to try this one, but with a smaller plain center, nice quilt!

Thanks so much! I will let her know. I didn't know that Barbara Brackman's book had a digital version called Blockbase. I'll have to look into that.

I'm doing a similar one called Fancy Dish:

Love yours Kitsie, a wonderful way to use scraps.

looks like it would be fairly easy to draft out in any size one wanted.

I've seen it called fancy Dresden Plate, but you might find the name and pattern on Quilter's Cache, or just search the web for Dresden Plate and it might be there. Good luck. It's a very interesting block, and I think it's an older quilt block, like Depression era. Good Luck.

one very similar, "Dresden plate: Friendship Circle" 1933 is found in Beyer's Quilters album of patchwork patterns page 374-8.
