What pattern is this?

I looked online...can't find the pattern name. I want to quilt it, but looking for ideas...so, willing to have you all make suggestions for quilting it also.

I have been longarm quilting since 2006, and this is the hardest part for me...what to put on the quilt.

You could do a circle pattern on the pinwheels to give movement. The squares look like there is a wheel inside also. Smaller circles there??

looks like blocks set on point. done in rows. all half square triangle blocks. one spinning and one with dark hst sections toward center of blk. easy

I recommend Angela Walters book Shape by Shape. When I get stuck I look at the shape of the blocks and go look at her designs. Since you have triangles here are a few that I quickly sketched. As for the pattern, it looks like a simple 9 patch that has been cut in half and put with a solid.[ATTACH=CONFIG]559709[/ATTACH]

Might be an idea...maybe overlapping circles...hmmm.

margecam52 10-05-2016 12:05 PM

This is sort of what I was thinking...my main issue is the large setting triangles in the corners...thinking straight lines like you show in #7, and maybe circles in the center squares in a square....stay geometric, but with movement... thanks to you all for ideas.

Don't know any pattern name, but it seems the maker just made 9patch blocks, cut them in half diagonally, and made pinwheel and square-in-a-square blocks.

Love the overlapping circles idea, and perhaps lots of bubbles or pebbles.

I also recommend getting Angela Walter's Shape by Shape (now 2 volumes)--some great ideas for quilting. also Amanda Murphy has a good book with quilting ideas that give specific ideas for specific blocks (Angela has ideas for specific shapes). My first glance at the picture the white in the blocks pops out and seems to be a good spot for feathers spiraling out, though it really changes up the idea of the pinwheels.

This is what I saw, too. A nine patch cut on the diagonal. As you can see, the bias of the nine patch has no points. They've all been cut off in the cutting and sewing.

I would quilt it with some sort of a circle or swirl panto.

Anxious to see when finished.

I would do some sort of panto rather than customized personally. Because I just can't find a good flow through the blocks (and one of the pinwheels looks backwards - the one on the bottom left of your pic) when I tried. Otherwise, I think your whites might form some cool diamonds that could have one pattern with complementary patterns in the pinwheels and squares....

Our guild had a quilt fair judge attend a meeting. Her advise was if your pattern has straight lines, do a all over pattern.

margecam52 10-07-2016 01:29 PM

Thanks everyone for the ideas. I am using 1/2" straight lines in the setting triangles and a curve/candle flame/curve (continuous) in the triangles. It comes out looking like an allover pattern. Tried the overlapping circles (used qbot v3) and didn't like them. I know the kind of work this customer likes (I've done more than 15 quilts for her), so I pulled up some pics of some of her quilts I've done...she best like it...I know she will...but it's taking a lot of time on those setting tris on the edges of the quilt.
I'm working at home on a Crown Royal quilt binding today...but will post pic of this quilts quilting when I get to the shop tomorrow.

margecam52 10-07-2016 01:31 PM

this quilt has more than one reverse pinwheel...the maker did take 12 patches and a matching size white square and made 1/2 sq tris from them...so it's fairly equal. The design I'm using...doesn't matter. The squares have been divided with the quilting to make them match the other areas.

I see some secondary patterns in the quilt. I don't know anything about LA quilting. But I think this has some unusual movement and shapes.

This is what I've decided to do. It's going fairly quickly...those 1/2" lines...shoulda rethunk those, lol.
