http://quilthistorytidbits--oldnewly...ice-brooks.php of course also info on Barbara Brackman site as well: http://barbarabrackman.blogspot.com/...-patterns.html WOW!!!! What a beautiful quilt. Think of the time and love that went into that quilt. Thank you to grannysewer (?) for finding the name. Also to Cogito to the interesting links. Love reading and looking at the older quilts. One of these days! |
Try quiltingindex.org. This was on Sewing with Nancy. May be able to find the name.

Great detective work. I like the history behind the patterns too.
Cheers, K |
OMG I love it! I wish so bad my mom had made something like that. What a treasure

I purchased this old quilt in a thrift store and would like to know the name of the pattern. It has some soiled places on it, but not bad shape. It's hand pieced and hand quilted, there is no binding. I've looked in my books and other places and can't find it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Bobbie

Wow. I would call it a Great Beauty. I have several pieces from same period, just do not know what anonymous quilter was thinking when she left them all undone. This has inspired me to attempt piecing it together.

Just saw a new close version. Love of quilting magazine..latest edition. Page 28-29. Larger block less petals but a lot like it

I want to give a Shout Out to the members of this Board, who can help track down names of quilt patterns. I followed the links posted, and was able to not only have the name of the pattern, but also where to locate it, YAAY!
I logged on to Amazon and just purchased the book "Quilts: Unfinished Quilts With New Endings" by Gyleen Fitzgerald, which is reported to have this pattern in it. I also went to paperpieces.com, and purchased the paper pattern there. As I was marveling at my luck, I happened to pick up my local newspaper, describing the upcoming Sauder's Quilt Show (4/27-5/2) in Archbold, OH, and guess who is going to be there? Gyleen Fitzgerald! If it comes in time, I may see if I can get her to sign it, lol. Even if she doesn't, I can ask her about this pattern. |
Yes, this is truly a great bunch of people! I know when I need an answer, most likely I'll find one here. Good luck getting your book signed! That would be awsome! Let us know if you get to ask about the quilt. Inquiring minds want to know. Bobbie
