A friend just received this quilt. Do you recognize the pattern?

It could be curved nine patch..........

Looks like Cathedral with 9 patch 'window' maybe?

It is expanded 9 patch.

I've also heard it called a glorified 9 patch.

I've always thought it was an orange peel nine patch.

It is a curved 9-patch http://www.favequilts.com/Block-Patt...h-Quilt-Block/

One more example of an old block having many names.

Don't know the pattern but that sure is a nice quilt. Would love to have one like it.

Improved nine patch, I've seen it called. Evidentally many names for it.

I have seen it called a glorified nine patch before on a pattern I have.

Here is another source I found years ago:

It is a really cool pattern and " Charlie" has many variations on this one simple technique.
peace

this is what i've always known it as

Here's an old post with a really pretty one as a table topper: www.quiltingboard.com/pictures-f5/glorified-nine-patch-table-topper-my-ufo-done-o-t57513.html

Grandma and Aunt called it that also. :)

I made this quilt many years ago---don't remember the name but the pattern was from a Sharlene Jorgenson book. It was made by making the nine patches then using a template to cut the curved sides--cutting out many of the melon shapes and sewing them on. I still love it and have it on a bed. Unfortunately I have the books all packed and ready for our move next month so can't tell you which book and she has many. It was not the main pattern in the book--pretty sure it was in one of the quilting from the heartland books. Looked on Amazon and didn't see it--the book has a reddish brown cover.

I also have heard it as a glorified nine patch

I made one years ago and it was called "Improved Nine Patch".

I had that pattern in a book and it was called Improved Nine Patch. lol

Looks like a DWR template to me without the rings just the center and melons. Very cool.

I agree. Starts with an uneven nine patch block which is then cut as a rob Rob to pay Paul block. I made my own version from a photo on the cover of Quilters Newsletter circa 2000.

Yes, you are so correct dunster. There are so many different names for the same blocks. I was surprised I couldn't find it in Blockbase.

In one of my books, it's called "Glorified Nine Patch"

My Mother called hers improved nine patch. One she made in the mid :60's

Shar Jorgenson has a Youtube video showing how to make this with her templates.

I have my grandmother's and she called it "improved 9 patch".

Improved 9-Patch
 

My mother always called this pattern IMPROVED 9-PATCH. I am making one now. I like yours. Good pattern to use us scraps.
