A great story, I love it. I would love to have that pattern as well. Probably wouldn't do it justice. Enjoy your treasure.

So I re-created a paper piece pattern for it and called it the Candlequilter Star block. Well, the original owner decided to sell it on ebay and I am now the proud owner of this beautiful quilt that lead me to designing my first pattern and hopefully many different quilt patterns from it. Don't worry I am not going to take this quilt apart to see how it was made. I will treasure it! I feel that the person who made this quilt did it using the english paper piecing technique similar to the grandmother's flower garden.

Anyway, I am so happy and I thought those of you who have seen or followed this quilt story would like to know the happy ending.

Thanks,

What a wonderful masterpiece you acquired. I hope someday I can learn to quilt as good as that is. I just finished a quilt today, it is a strip quilt and using the longest stitch I could, sewing a straight line diagonally down the quilt, it puckered. So I had to take out and sew by hand the puchkered area. Now I can choose some of my stash and get your block started.
