That is a neat quilt. I have never seen anything like it.

It was published in several newspapers across the country. Also had the names Friendship Ring, Astor, and Sunflower. You can now purchase the design. I think the curved pieces would slow me down. Thanks everyone for your interest and help.

That's beautiful quilt, and not one for a beginning quilter. You really do have a treasure there. Glad you found the name of the pattern.

WOW, what a find. Thanks for giving it a good home and seeking information about it. Too sad it was in a thrift store and not a cherished possession in a family member's home.

What a wonderful vintage quilt! I really like that pattern as I have not seen it before. I bet we could simplify the piecing. And I definitely recognize some of those 40's fabrics...I have quilts my grandma made in that era.

Here is a link to interesting history regarding those 30's and 40's newspaper patterns:

My Grandma had a quilt similar to this. She called hers Josephs Coat of Many Colors, but that's just what she called it. What ever the name of your quilt is, it is beautiful. So glad you found such a treasure.

I know that one as "Blossoms"- at least thats what it was called here in SW Mo by one quilter who made one.
this was 30 years ago and i know she had a big collection of KC Star patterns.. |
Again, many names for the same pattern
