Does Anyone Know The Name of This Quilt Pattern?
 

I'm quilting this vintage quilt top for a friend whose MIL and GMIL quilted back in the 50's. I'm adding a label and would like to include the name of the pattern. Anyone know ? Thanks!

Sorry, can't help with the pattern but wanted to say I think it is beautiful!

I'm putting the binding on now and will post when it's finished. I can hardly wait to give it to my friend. BTW some of the muslin pieces ( which are about 2") have been spliced together. These ladies were frugal!

It is a 60 degree diamond which they have used to make stars.

I don't know the name of the pattern but I know the quilt is beautiful.

I don't know the name, but it is beautiful!

The name of the pattern has escaped me and is driving me crazy. You use the same template as the one for the tumbling block. Ahhh! Can't find it on the internet either.

Is it a LaMoin Star????????

The LeMoyne Star has eight sections (each made with 45 degree diamonds).
A Lone Star is just a big LeMoyne with each section made up of smaller diamonds (but all still 45 degrees).


The star in the OP's quilt (which is fabulous) is the Six Pointed Star, made with 60 degree diamonds (as noted above).
I know. A pretty boring name. But that's how it's mainly referred to in the quilting world.
I have seen it referred to as the Empire Star in a pattern or two.
On point, it's called the Morning Star (according to EQ).

Outside of quilting, the symbol is known as the Star of David or Jewish Star. But unless you're making a Chanukah quilt........


The setting is what makes this particular quilt so great - the offset stars are much more interesting than if they were all in straight rows and columns.

Where'd you find it?

what a great quilt!!!!
