Name of this pattern + border ideas
 

Does anyone know the name of this pattern? I saw it on Pinterest and made my own dimensions for the blocks (12 inch). I really like it, but would probably make them 9 inch blocks if I do it again. Now I am not sure of the border. I don't have enough of any of the scraps for a border, but my thought was to have the thin white border and then a 2 inch border of alternating white/print squares - but that looks pretty busy and too close to the inside pattern. What do you think? All ideas are welcome; a solid red or blue to break if up? Perhaps the solid should have been placed first instead of the white????

Thanks for your suggestions ~ Carol

Sorry for the pictures being mixed up - the second picture is with just the first white border and then the other options. I could put just about any color of solid, but tried it with the red. Suddenly it all looks too busy to me.

Lovely pattern no idea of name. I agree about red would do coloured squares in between white borders.

Pretty quilt! I wouldn't put a border on it at all.

Looks like a variation on a Tennessee Waltz quilt pattern. The TW quilt normally has a solid center, this one has a snowballed 9 patch. I like the last border suggestion, add another row of white to separate the squares, then bind it in the red.

Your quilt is great. I wouldn't put a border on it, except for white. One of the blocks is the Fifty-Four Forty or Fight. The other block is a modified 9-patch.

it looks like two blocks. a shoo fly block and the star with four patches

I made that quilt. Got the pattern off Fons & Porter website. They called it Aunt Gracie's Garden, made from 54-40 or Fight and the shoo-fly block.

I've seen that pattern, but sorry, don't know the name of it. I think a very narrow red border before the white would better frame the quilt. I'm thinking a narrow red, the white, then the alternating blocks, and finally the binding in red. But, I don't think what you have done is too busy. By the way the quilt is beautiful.

Every time a pattern is published especially in magazines, they rename a block. It's original name is Tennessee Waltz:

I just finished making that quilt. I got the pattern from the May/June 2013 issue of Love of Quilting. The pattern in the magazine was by Liz Porter and she called it Emily's Wedding Quilt, so I guess they renamed it for the website version. It's a combination of 54-40 or Fight blocks and Shoo Fly blocks. Mine is at the quilters -- it's 115" x 115", so I didn't try to quilt it myself. I'll post pictures when I get it back.

Here's the link to the free pattern from Fons and Porter -

Carol, you did a great job on making this quilt; I really like your color choices.

Thanks Girlfriend for the link.

Really like this quilt, yours is beautiful. Girlfriend thanks for link.

I like the thin red strip with white border mentioned earlier.

Just a white binding would be nice too using deco stitch with variegated thread that has your quilt colors in it.

You have made a beautiful quilt. I, too, would just bind it in red.

I saw the Fons and Porter TV show where they demonstrated making this quilt. Liz made it for her daughter for a wedding gift, thus the name Emily's Wedding Quilt for her particular version. You did a beautiful job! Love your colors. It's on my bucket list (along with soooo many others). I like the idea of adding a narrow "solid" border to frame the quilt. The one you have in the first picture looks good.

The quilt is beautiful just as it is... not too busy as you have everything broken up with white. It's great.

It is gorgeous.........love your color choices. I like the idea of a narrow border and then white or the blocks framed in white.

I got this pattern free at Fon's and Porter also. It might be called Emily's Wedding Quilt there also. Look for both and you can get it for free. It is a really beautiful quilt. I have it started in 30's fabric

This is the free download pattern. I love it with the appliqued borders.

Thank you so much for posting the link. It is a beautiful quilt.

Oh goodness ladies! Thank you for the nice comments and that link is wonderful; now I may have to try my luck at applique. The border would be so striking on the quilt. I've always wanted to improve my applique skills and wonder if now is the time.

I think the outer border could be of the same material in one of the inner squares the multi colored green/blue/ yellow/white.....it is lovely and I like the 12 inch square......would love the pattern

I like the squares in the border, but I would put a little wider white border before the squares. I think the red border detracts. Beautiful quilt.

I am definitely in the minority here. I like #1 with the wide red border and finished off with the squares. Just my 2 cents!

I do not see 54-40 or Fight in this quilt top, must be just me...

Look up Celtic Solstice. Not sure that's the one your looking for but it might be.

This pattern was actually featured on a Fon's & Porter show. Liz made it as a wedding gift I believe. I also think it was featured in their magazine, Love of a Quilting. I think it was from 2015. Check their website.

Thank you Oofta for posting this a I can not find the fons and porter one on their web site. I relay like your colors. And its a download makes it so great for us Canadians no shipping!
