I make charity quilts and in our church closet we have some wonderful quilts that people just donate. I had to share, if any of you could tell me some information about it I would appreciate it.

I have no idea, but it is beautiful.

Wow!

Looks like someone took some artistic liberty with a Dresden plate...using a portion of one and creating a kind of blooming flower. Pretty cool looking!

It could also be a version of grandmother's fan. You son't usually see it with the stick part but that's what it reminds me of.

Oh wow, I love that!

it's a terrific pattern. don't have any info on it.

Lovely....good luck finding pattern.

Don't know the design but it is so wonderful for people to put in so much work and then donate the masterpieces. Quilter's are the best!!

So pretty!

Looks like a twist on the grandmothers' fan thing -

Reminds me of those old-fashioned card-stock fans-on-sticks that churches used to hand out in the un-airconditioned facilities in the olden days ... especially at funerals (courtesy of the local mortician) and at weddings -- times when churches were packed and the air was hot and humid and people were under a lot of stress.....

I may be mis-remembering my childhood - or maybe it was just a Southern Thing ... ???

What a beautiful quilt. Someone spent a lot of time on that one.

I love doing fan type quilts so I'm bookmarking this one to nudge my memory. Fan to look like a flower.
Thanks for sharing.

Thats wonderful!

looks like a grandmothers fan variation...its lovely

I recall the same fans , so don't
think you are mis-remembering.
I don't know what the pattern is called, but I see some of the same fabrics my Mom and Grandmothers used in quilts, that were made in the 40's and 50's.
Looks like a vintage jewel to me. :thumbup:

definitely a tweaked version of "grandmothers fan"....

I remember those fans too but it may be a Southern thing ;)

I thought of the very same thing. Church Fans.

The fabric in the "fans" looks like 40's fabric. I would guess someone got ahold of those and then modified the pattern at some later date due to the eyelet fabric and made those blocks. Very creative.

Wow, so many vintage quilts showing up on this board. I love to see all of them. This again, is another beauty.

Very pretty!
Love those vintage quilts!

What a beautiful quilt!!! Would you mind to show a picture of the whole quilt please?

I am lucky to have received this quilt. Just sitting in a closet.

Thank you so much!! What a fancy border...........lucky you and get it out of the closet :lol:
Granny

I've never seen one done like that. I think its pretty. Looks like very old fabric also, not reprints.
