It is wonderful to have her around. She sewed all her life, was a dressmaker by trade, made both mine and my sister's wedding dresses. She didn't start quilting until her mid-70s. She joined a group at her church who pieced tops together, hand quilting, to be sold at the church bazaar. I made her a small lap quilt and gave it to her this past weekend. She was very appreciative and loved the FMQ I had done.

It is included in Maggie Malone's book as The Great Circle (4024, p 309) and also in Barbara Brachman's book as The Great Circle (2995, p 401). The pattern was originally from Aunt Martha Studios.
There is an example included in the MSU Quilt Index.

seems like all the quilts that are similar are more true squares and triangles than yours. I like the slightly rounded shape of the squares and triangles on your quilt. I hope you find this pattern exactly like yours. I'm going to subscribe to this thread so I can see if it's found. Good luck.

I have a pattern like this that is called "Crossed Canoes" that is similar to this. The center square in the crossed canoes is put together in 4 triangles of four different colors. Supposedly, an imaginative pioneer woman pieced this design using Indians' canoes as her inspiration.

In my quilt book it is called 'The Dragon Fly, from the Weekly Star Farmer, 1954. Only difference is center square is in 4 pieces. Another picture calls it 'Forgotten Star' but this one has a small triangle in the white part.
