Help in Identifying this block?
 

I have two old quilt tops (same pattern) that I am finishing for an RN
at he VA Hospital where I used to work.
She is in her 40's and they were done by her great-grandmother.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I've never seen a block like this but it certainly is beautiful! Whoever pieced it did a great job!

I've never seen this block either, but I agree it is beautiful and beautifully pieced.

It's called Magnolia Blossom from the periodical called "Oklahoma Farmer Stockman" 9/15/1930 which had a column by the name of Good Cheer Quilt Patterns.

Sort of looks like "Castle Walls". Mine has an octagon in the middle. Found it on the internet several years ago.

You never cease to amaze me with your wealth of knowledge!!

When you finish the tops, please share some pix with us. I would love to see the whole quilt.

SuperJan strikes again! I've never seen that block before, it's beautiful. And Great-Grandma was working her scrap basket like a pro, lol!

Try this web page , scroll down to find your block

Was thinking the exact same thing.

dotty, somehow your link didn't work. try this one http://www.generations-quilt-pattern...ilt-block.html

I downloaded the templates. Do you think a person could paper piece this block?

I don't think you could paper piece this block with the curves. If you figure out how....could I please have a copy of the pattern? ;-)

Your ability to remember and share with us your knowledge is wonderful! I'm so glad you post here.

Not the same quilt BUT the secondary pattern to this block is pretty cool. Another reason I wish "designers" would show the whole quilt, not just blocks!

Sure makes into a beautiful quilt. Jan, I just admire all the quilting knowledge that you share with us.

Glad you asked the question and shared the block.

I totally agree, Jan, you are a wealth of knowledge and have helped me tremendously just by reading your comments!

It is a really unusual block, which was extremely well pieced and the finished quilt should be gorgeous. I did notice that one of the blue pieces was pieced, but that is typical when fabric was scarce and hard to come by. I wish I could help you. Have you tried quilterscache.com, there may be something on that site that would be helpful.

Thank all of you for your complimentary remarks. :o
I have to admit, though, that it's not so much retained knowledge on my part, but sometimes the ability to know where to find that knowledge. This particular information came straight from Barbara Brackman's Encyclopedia of Pieced Patterns; that book has saved me more times than I can count!!

Thank you both so much for showing us where to find the pattern. I do love this quilt and can't wait to find some fabric and make it.

Wow how pretty it is..please post when finished...

Once again, Jan you pull the rabbit out of the hat!!

Almost any block can be paper pieced and this one looks like a real winner. I printed the templates to add to my EPP folder. I do EPP at MD visits and waiting rooms everywhere, LOL!

Thanks DOTTYMO, for the web page information.. there are a lot of free patterns there too.

That is a gorgeous quilt with the colors and secondary pattern. Thanks Jane for showing us this one.
