Do you recognize this pattern
A friend of mine made this quilt and wants to display it in a show however, she cannot remember the name of it. She made it a couple of years ago and says the pattern came out of a magazine that she had.
Does anyone know the name?

The first block is fifty four forty or fight(http://www.quilterscache.com/F/Fifty...ightBlock.html), I know the other but can't think of it.

Quite an impressive quilt!
... two different blocks put together for one incredible design, way beyond what one would expect.
Do you have a photo of the quilt after quilting?
Would love to see it.
Incredible piecing by your friend, and definitely show-worthy.
If you don't come up with the name or details, for sure tell her to enter it.
Just be honest and tell the story that she knows about the pattern.

Lovely quilt! The 54-40 block was sometimes combined with the Corn and Beans block. If she found it in a modern magazine, they probably renamed it themselves. She should just give it her own title and mention it is a combination of traditional blocks.

I agree with Tartan. If you use the 50-40 block in combination with another block, it gives the illusion of circles. Fons & Porter had one on the cover of one of their magazines a few years ago with the 54-40 and and a star block and they called it friendship rings. I don't think the alternate block on this one is corn and beans. Someone just brought up an old thread(2011?) today with the corn and beans. These patterns have had a lot of names and I want to make every one I see, including this one
. Fools the eye is another name. I'll try to show friendship rings. I don't do well with pics here.[ATTACH=CONFIG]589689[/ATTACH] yea! I did it. Small, but I did it.
