I don't know the name of a pattern
1 Attachment(s)
I was hoping to post a picture of a top from my grandmother and get an idea of the pattern name.
I wasn't sure how to do so. |
That is a very nice quilt. I’m not sure of the pattern name but I’m sure someone is going to have the name. At first I thought of a tulip variation but I’m sure after looking longer that it’s going to be some other flower. It is a treasure what ever the pattern name is. 🤗

I don't know the name either but it is a beautiful quilt. it shouldn't be able to adapt a pattern for it. Maybe some one with EQ8 can make one up for you.
|
That is a striking quilt, thanks so much for sharing.
I don't know the name but 5-pointed patterns are rather rare and that should help. |
Don't know the name, but it's really cool! I've never seen one like that.
|
Beautiful quilt, similar to some of the Cactus Star or Blooms quilts, but none exact that I can see on a quick search.
|
Those are 36 degree segments!
Wonder how she managed to do the designing for that quilt. |
Thanks for a clue. I want to know just out of curiosity.
I decided it is time for me to hand quilt it. I need to decide on the pattern for quilting. The blue part may want a 8 pointed flower. or just checkers |

Turkey tracks? I don't know why it came to mind, not sure really. But with all that bias, she was an amazing quilter.

Careful folding I guess! I'm pretty darn impressed, it's a lovely bit of work. Still looking a bit, sending a message to a friend with many resource books. I'm thinking there is turkey in the name but I don't know why.
Just google - Paper folding for 5-pointed star. |

Oh my goodness! I found it listed as Mountain Pink (if you google you can find pictures) in my book of Carrie Hall blocks.
https://www.amazon.com/Carrie-Hall-B...5089782&sr=8-1 A top is "only as old as it's newest fabrics", at first glance I'd date yours as pre-1950, maybe made in the 40s with fabrics from earlier. Edit: Further looking brought me to Nancy Cabot, one of the quilt newspaper ladies, also with the same name (Mountain Pink). My first book was Ruby McKim, another one of the newspaper ladies. Haven't checked there yet because I didn't ring my Ruby bell. |
I don't know the name of the pattern either but it resembles something like a tulip pattern. It is a very unique block and maybe your grandmother just made up her own pattern which is what my grandmother did a lot of times. Good luck on your search and I am sure someone will come up with a name of the pattern for you.

Mountain Pink. thanks to all in this time of isolation.

Very pretty. You are so lucky to have it.

What a beautiful quilt!
That would make a lovely table runner, as well. Watson |
Wow, you gals are great sleuths!
