    Looked at Pinterest per Kathy T. and found this. It's very similar. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...7058b273c4.jpg

    Also would like to find a pattern for the block.
    This block is so pretty. Hope someone can solve the mystery.

    I don't know what the name of it is, however it looks easy enough to piece.

    I wonder if you were able to contact Barbara Brackmann (sp?) - quilt historian - if she would be able to ID it for you. It is such a neat pattern.

    yes, it is an interesting block. I measured it just now. 10" I will have to try to draft it out for a pattern. Might have been a one off kind of block that the quilter designed herself/himself. Anyhow....I really like it. Thanks for the comments and research that has been done. This forum is the greatest. Which means that you all are great

    What a great quilt! I have been saving men's ties to make a quilt and this block would be perfect for it. If you draft a pattern, would you please share. Thank you.
