You had quite a few responses when you posted this yesterday - http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...t-t187595.html

This quilt was probably made with templates, like most quilts of that era. You probably won't find a modern pattern for it because most of us don't like to work with templates, in this age of the rotary cutter. If you use one of the crossed canoes patterns and then work up your own templates to add in the diamonds in the canoes you can come up with the same pattern, or something very close to it. Do you know what colors were in the quilt? You might want to do some research to find out what fabrics were popular at the time if you want to re-create the quilt.
