    Default Help to identify pieces and placement

    I have these pieces for an appliqued quilt that my oldest sister cut out but I have no pattern to go with it and I lost my sister several years ago. Can anyone help me to identify what pattern these pieces might belong to? Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    Looks like a tulip flower and a leaf.

    I am thinking of the swirling tulip wreaths design. How many do you have?

    Her tulip seems to have a slight turn to it and I was wondering if maybe she intended to use a different color for the center point?

    I have about 150 flowers and looks like about 100 leaves, but extra fabric of each and it looks like she also began to cut stems. I'll look for the swirling tulip wreath that you mentioned. Thanks!

    The pattern name for the tulip wreath is Windblown Tulips. Some versions do have a little piece appliquéd in the middle of the slanted piece. Try Googling ....quilt pattern Windblown Tulips. The yellow one from the Nebraska Museum has the center piece in it.

    I think I could make them work with the pic from this site: http://www.seamstobeyouandme.com/wp-...ing-tulips.jpg

    Thanks for the suggestions folks, I think I can figure something from here. I'll try to get a square put together and post pics when I am able.
