I have these UFO's left behind by my grandmother. Some of them she labeled but several she did not. Please help me with the names if you know them. I could look them all up but, that would take me forever. I need to know the names so that if they need to be bigger I can add more blocks. Because there are so many I put two in each picture. Thankyou for your help it means a lot to me.

#2 Eccentric Star

dsj 01-15-2011 05:04 PM

#9 could be a variation of Jack's delight the center square is on point though. #11 is a card trick.

JoyVoltenburg 01-15-2011 05:05 PM

love these. You ARE going to put these together into quilts - right?

magpiefeather 01-15-2011 05:23 PM

I LOVE that little blazing star with the solid purple and purple gingham! Are the other blocks purple too or all different colors? What a treasure your Gramma left you!

dsj 01-15-2011 05:31 PM

#1 Peace and Plenty

dsj 01-15-2011 05:47 PM

#4 has several names: Flying stars, flying barn swallows, falling star, circling swallows, whirling star, the wreath.

#Stars and stripes (not sure why), snow flake, forever

dsj 01-15-2011 05:49 PM

#9 is probably navaho, it is on point.

dsj 01-15-2011 05:51 PM

all of those blocks are found in the 5,500 quilt block designs by Maggie Malone. There are several names for the same block. It depends on the time period that they were made most of the time.

dsj 01-15-2011 05:52 PM

I can't find #7 but will continue looking for you.

quiltsRfun 01-15-2011 07:17 PM

Oh my goodness! You've inherited quite a treasure. You must be having fun going through them all and deciding how to use them.

ABSOLUTELY. I want the names so I can add more blocks if needed and make the tag for them.

they were all made probably in the late 80's or early 90's

KandiKane 01-15-2011 08:29 PM

I think # 3 is a Star Of David, the other star lookin looks like # 4 another type of star maybe ... # 11 I have seen that not too long ago, and # 12 my color and its very pretty.. love the style block ..

jme 01-16-2011 11:46 AM

dsj 01-16-2011 04:33 PM

They are all very sweet and you have a wonderful treasure of keepsakes there. Have fun with them.
