The anchor is winning. My vote too.

My first thought was an anchor. But 0n second thought I don't think the background would be pink if it was meant to be an anchor. The "green stem" does not stand out on my computer. If it is green than I definitely think it is a flower "arrangement" in a low bowl. Neat pattern though. Is there any history to the quilt. An easy enough pattern to duplicate.

Well, the top is definitely a 9 patch; don't know about the bottom.

Looks like an anchor to me. Was there a relative in the Navy?

First word out of my mouth was "anchor".

I really have no idea. That pink color fabric has turned up on some antique blocks I inherited. Instantly "Anchors Away" popped into my head. I can't wait to see what these knowledgeable quilters come up with. They always figure it out!
