I hit a wall trying to find this block pattern online. Anyone know where it could be? :shock:

Is this it?

You can buy the pattern here

Scroll right down. Hope it helps. :D

I can find many pictures of the block and quilt but no block pattern. I thought it was a public domain block. I guess it's copyrighted. I found a book that has the block pattern so I guess a new book will be in my mailbox soon. :D

To me, it looks like the Tumbling Blocks quilt. The pieces are the same shape, though the colors are handled differently. I've been trying to find a traditional Tumblng Blocks pattern, too, can only find the "Not Your Grandmother's" version which I don't want. I want G'ma's version.

I'm glad you found a pattern, Bella. That is a very pretty block. I can't wait to see the quilt.

I found an EQ5 download here:

It is the 60º diamond pieced into tumbling blocks to form stars. The new book by Marci Baker All My Stars has a strip piecing pattern for the block.

Lisanne, try Inklingo web site for traditional 60º block patterns.

Seven sisters has been around forever! I'm sure it's not copyrighted.

Added - in looking for this pattern, saw that it was suggested as a design for the Confederate Flag.

Thank you DA mayer! This is exactly what I was looking for. I love hand piecing in the winter months.

I just finished hand piecing top over past year. (Queen size)
Have pattern and could copy and mail to you, sew send me your info.
Mine is from mid-1990's from a magazine.

There was a thread on them a while back. I did a 7 sisters quilt. If you want more information on it PM me.

Go on ebay. There are templantes for sale. good luck....

Here is another one!

I've done seven sisters also.. fun and easy... and old as the hills.

Thanks, BellaBoo, I'll check it out! Actually, just knowing that they're 60 degree angles helps a lot (duh, I should have been able to figure that out, but I just didn't).

Hi guys! I am glad you found your Seven sisters quilt pattern and hope you can help me find a pattern for cardinals to embroider in a quilt block . Thanks Betlinsmom

I can vouch for the Seven Sisters pattern in Leisure Arts Encyclopedia of Classic Quilt Patterns, page 289. I really love the pattern. Several years ago there was (I think) an AQ article that simplified the pattern to eliminate some of the set in seams. I lost it long ago. Good luck! This may be my favorite pattern.

Love all the help available on this board. :lol:

I am probably too late with this, but I was watching Kay Wood today on-line and noticed that one of the videos is the double wedding ring quilt. the link is: http://www.kayewoodtv.com/ktv/index....ink=true&chn=6
hope it will help who ever needs the info!

I'm sure you've found it. I found this one today. It's a pillow pattern but I'm sure you could make it any size. Happy Quilting.

ummm, 2009 post. i think the problem would have been solved by now. at least i hope so. I know I've heard of that.

lol, Native Texan. I just get cracked up when people respond to threads that are years old. Happens all the time.

I know, it must not show dates the particular way they find them. Oh well.

Seven Sisters is the name of a mountain range nearby. Might make an interesting quilt block to reflect mountains.
I know this isn't what you're looking for, though.

Same here. :D The cool thing is sometimes I end up finding something awesome that I didn't know about before!

7 Sisters and Tumbling Blocks are just 60 degree diamonds. You can make sizes any size you want - the look is all in the way you lay them out. No pattern needed.

Here's a variation I made. My g'ma cut out the pieces, but never made them into a quilt. I finished it.

In the dark corner of my mind I think I remember seeing a pattern for 7 sisters in a love of quilting mag.....several yrs ago...and if so, it is buried in my sewing room......no, I don't think I'll start looking for it...others have offered more recent info....that would be a fun epp though, hmmmm......for me more precise that my hand-piecing!

Have started one like 117 post, but large diamonds GO die and machine sewed with no y seam ( Kay woods technique), good scrappy.

nativetexan...... Retread your post on date......wow, I got pulled into this one! I usually check, but missed it this time!
