I just received these from my sister. Our grandmother hand pieced them. She passed away in the 1930's so it was probably sometime between turn of century & 1930. Does anyone know what the pattern is? I have 52 blocks about 10 inches each. I can't find the pattern anywhere on the internet.

Wow, I have never seen anything like that. Very nice, lucky you.

Welcome to the board from Southern California!!
What a treasure you have there!!!\
Hopefully someone here can help you!

It looks like a variation of the Bulls Eye/Torpedo block.

Those are beautiful!!! :D:D:D

Sorry, can't help you other than to say how lucky you are :thumbup:

What will you do with them ?

love it! Thank you for sharing!

No idea the name of the pattern, but boy they are lovely. Gives you the idea of a wagon wheel. Love to know what it is called, TOO!

Blessings,
Ruth

Welcome from Ireland. No idea what the pattern is. Very good colors.

Wow, those are great. Be sure to let us know how you put them together.

That looks like the dresden plates our members have been posting.
I can just see her fingers holding the needle doing those stitches. So precious.

Look at this link. http://www.patternsfromhistory.com/c...sden-plate.htm

What a treasure you have there. I hope you find the info.

pretty & unusual . Looks like it's in excellant condition too

Barbara Brackman's Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns has 2 names for them--Gypsy Trail and Snake in the Hollow. Block #3353

I keep saying I want to get that book!! Thanks so much!! I am planning to put it together 6 by 8 blocks. The fabric is in great shape. My sister called & said I was about to throw these in the garbage because they are so ugly but I thought you might want them....just goes to show you...one sister's trash another sister's treasure!! Thanks again, I am so thrilled to have a name for this pattern!

Checking back in. Beverly, I am so glad you had the book and found them. /Regards, Dorothy

and thanks to your daughter & son for their service to our country! That's a lot to be proud of!!

Hi and welcome from the sunny state of Florida!!
I'm glad someone found the answer for you. You sure do have a treasure.

Thanks to all for trying to help. I can't believe my sister almost threw them all away!

and Gayle, thanks to your daughter & son for their service to our country! That's a lot to be proud of!!

Does anyone know where I can try to check the dates of the fabric? They are probably feedsacks because my grandfather owned a general store where he sold everything including feed & seed.

"Snake in the Hollow" -- I like that! :D

Here in KY we'd say snake in the holler!!

I rarely use the book. I found a digital version of it somewhere "Blockbase"--It says Electric Quilt on it when I start it up--and I don't think I've looked at the book since.

LOL!! I think I have blockbase on my computer but forgot about it...I have never used it. Thanks for the reminder...don't think I'lll buy the book. :-))Nope! Just checked & I have Block factory not blockbase.

to bkrenning...glad you found the name of it, was very interesting in this pattern..very unusual & pretty.

That is going to be a beautiful quilt!

I don't know that pattern but it sure is pretty. What a wonderful gift. What are you doing with them? I can't wait to see.

At first I thought it was a variation on Grandmother's Fan but glad someone found it for you. Hate the name though lolol
not a snake lover!! :D
What an absolute TREASURE for you!!!!!!! :D
PS. A lot of those prints look like feedsacks.
