Great finds! The first one looks like a vase of flowers so maybe if you Google that it might come up?

Same thing as Feline said. Seven Sisters is also just called Hex Stars.

I think the first one maybe a Tree of Life variation, could be a tulip bouquet of some sort too. Maybe look at the Ladies Art Company type patterns.

I believe the first quilt is a Nosegay quilt pattern (also called Brides Bouquet). Here's a link to one.......http://viridian61.blogspot.com/2016/...-march-29.html

Don't have names for you, but I love the vases of flowers! It's quite different from the nosegay pattern.

Great finds. I would not use any of them as 'cutters' unless absolutely necessary, only if they are damaged beyond repair.

​I Googled the one with the vases and another came up but no name. Bonnie Hunter had posted another with the same pattern also looking for the name.

"Cutters" are when you cut the quilt and take out usable areas and re-purpose them in some way, whether it is making a framed piece of art, or a piece of clothing, stuffed animal, or what have you.
