Help to identify quilt
 

This is a picture of a picture of a quilt my mom made many years ago. I would like to try to find the pattern for it but have not had any luck so far. If anyone can give me an idea what it is called I would be grateful. I haven't ever seen the quilt in person but would really like to make one. It appears to be templates because the angles and intersections are not all even or right angles, if that makes any sense. Consequently it forms a secondary star shape in the corners, not a square. Thank you all for the help you always give to everyone.

Wow. It's a stunner! Can't help with the pattern although I agree it looks like templates were used.

Looks like you could do this with foundation piecing. Eight triangles to the square. The point on one end is the pinwheel while the point on the other end is the green center to the star.

The name of the block is wheel of fortune.yes it is template pattern.

I found it on Blockbase under the name "Road To Fortune"

I made one years ago and it was called "Wheel of Fortune". I have a book with the pattern in it, but it is packed. I am in the process of moving.

the pattern was published in McCall's Book of Quilts, Simon & Schuster/The McCall Pattern Co., NY, 1975.

Beautiful pattern.

I love it. I saved the pattern for when i'm ready to try working with paper. My To Do list is growing faster than i can sew :)

Aren't the ladies on this website just the greatest! I love seeing old quilts.

I also found it in a softcover book, "120 Patterns For Traditional Patchwork Quilts", Maggie Malone, Sterling Publishing Co., inc. New York, page 232.

Thank you for posting this link, it looks awesome.

I love this quilt. I'm not a big fan of doing paper piecing but my love for this quilt pattern may change that. Thanks so much for posting the picture of the quilt and for the link to the free pattern. This Quilting Board group is fantastic!

Thanks for the site leatheflea, I think this pattern looks a lot like a stack and whack pattern.

It always amazes me how even some of the oldest patterns still resurface and get new attention - love it.

here it is too http://www.quilterscache.com/W/WheelofFortuneBlock.html

I'm glad others knew the name of the quilt!

Just wanted to say how pretty it was!

Me too, made mine all scrappy and it was from a magazine, a very long time ago.
