Drunkard’s Path and it might be 1930/40 bubble pink fabrics or more modern 1960 psycodelic pinks.

Great find on a drunkards path block variation. Very pretty...lots of hours in that thing if indeed hand pieced. Tartan is brilliant that she can look at a piece of fabric and possibly put an age to it....amazing..

I agree that it is a Drunkard's Path and it looks like the 1930's bubble gum pink that was popular at that era.

As a quilt collector you may want to get books on antique quilts. This is the second quilt you have shown that is a common pattern and instead of not knowing you could easily reference. It would help you in your purchase decisions as well if you were more familiar with what you are buying.
