Kind of looks like a snowball quilt to me.

I'm going to say it's called the 'hummingbird' one patch block just repeated. It is a very old block

I would call it the hummingbird block. I think that one of the early Fons and Porter "Sew Many Quilts" magazines has the instructions.

Kathy I do believe that's IT! The octagon's between the kites!!!! It is an old quilt pattern and now I can order the templates to make this. Thank-you so MUCH! Those are definitely octagons between the kites to my eye in Jenny's quilt.

I just typed "periwinkle star template" in google and came up with a host of sites that should give you what you need. Good Luck!

The quilt is an antique quilt from her personal collection. She is working on a tutorial for a similar quilt. It will be in the next magazine. She is also using a Baby Lock machine and she loves it!!!!
