my dh bought this quilt for me about 20 years ago; he worked at an assisted living facility and they were having a craft sale, the only thing i know about it, besides it is warm and comfy and i love it, is that it was made by a minister's wife, by hand, and that she worked on it for a very long time, and then donated it to raise money for the assisted living facility! i'm the lucky one who got it! i would like to know if any of you have seen a quilt like this or better yet if you know the name of the pattern.

Its beautiful!!!

Sorry I can't help you but I wanted to say that is a lovely quilt.

I researched for you. I have the book Encyclopedia of Classic Quilt Patterns and on page 174 it shows the exact picture but using autumn colors. It's called "Indian Summer". I also think they call it Maple Leaves, but don't quote me. You can buy the book on Amazon.com or at JoAnns. I love it. I like yours because it's nice and bright. Enjoy!

thank you so much for your research; i'll look for the book!

Sure no problem! It's by Leisure Arts. In that book there are so many patterns. I want to make them all! It's about $25.00 at JoAnns, but look in Amazon.com you might get it cheaper there.It has 367 pages. And to make labels too. It's worth it. If you have coupons for JoAnns there you go. Again it's worth it.

There was a pattern in the Oct/Nov issue of QUILT magazine called Scrappy Maple Leaf....here's my version.

wow, that is cool to know, thanks for letting us know

Oh.... my..... what a beautiful quilt.. both versions.. lucky ladies.

That's very nice! How long did it take you to make? If you don't mind me asking.
