I see love letters, but can't find a love letter quilt that looks just like it.

Janice and Rachel are right. The pattern name is Firecracker.

Not sure I can put the link for this one but there's a quilt on about.com called
"Fire Cracker Quilt" By Janet Wickell. I'm sure you can find it through google.

Another blogger also talked about it here:

I pulled them up side by side and they look the same to me except for the sashing. Some of the red points do not show up when they meet because the reds do not have a lot of contrast. Look at the others and you will see their points go into making the square.

The arrow heads have straight backs next to the rail fence section. The one EasyPeezy posted has a different shape. No, not the same. Look at where the 4 arrow heads go together. The shape is different in the two quilts.

Here is the link to the Firecracker Quilt - it is exactly like Eddie's, just different colors.

I have a copy of the book "The New Quilting & Patchwork Dictionary" by Rhoda Ochser Goldberg, Published by Crown copyright 1988. This design appears on page 155 and is described as "I DO" then on the next line as an alternate name N-S-E-W (which I translate as north, south, east, west).

My mother found the book whilst thrift shopping and bought it for me...an oldie but a goodie...I have found it really useful, it has hundreds of patterns all in alphabetical order drafted on graph paper and has names and alternate names for each.

I was going to scan the page, but not sure if that is allowed.

Yeah, I think it is firecracker with the colors changed.

No the first one easypeezy posted has small triangles in the corners of the solid squares and the arrow heads are 4 patches not qst patches. I think she got it exactly right with the "firecracker" determination! I love the way they did the colors as compared to the other one shared, eddie's really makes the arrows stand out!! It also looks like they made their rail fence patches uneven, so the middle bar is thicker than the two outside bars, a very cool effect!

Thank you all for the input! I figured there were probably going to be several different names for it, now we know! :D
