    Default Priscilla ?

    According to the Block Base program, it is "The Priscilla or the World Without End" block. They both look the same to me. Here is a picture of Priscilla.

    Crossed Canoes (aka The Dragon Fly aka Indian Canoes aka Twinkling Star aka Santa Fe) has triangles in the center and is made with straight lines, not curves.

    Priscilla (aka World Without End aka Amethyst aka Diamond Star aka Star and Diamond aka Rocky Road to Kansas aka Golden Wedding) is also made with straight lines, not curves.

    The OP's quilt is intentionally made with curved arcs. They are not 'straight lines gone bad'.

    Instead of looking at the block with the square in the center, look at the intersections where the four points meet. There's your Winding Ways block. This was pieced with the bottom of the sections meeting on the square to eliminate the additional seams. Your eyes are drawn to it so that you see the pattern differently. When you look at the intersections where the points meet, your eye can see the WW pattern. It has a number of different names, including Wheel of Mystery and Four Leaf Clover. It's a really, really pretty scrap quilt.

    I don't know the name of the pattern but it is beautiful. I am in awe of all those tiny stitches.

    I'm amazed at how you ladies find the quilt name when you only have the image. How do you do that? Ghostrider, I believe you found it exactly. It is such a pretty pattern and OP's quilt is beautiful.

    I think katey is right. But, there often is more than one name for blocks. If you look closely you will see the pieces are curved.

    Oh by the way jean, after looking at years of magazines and quilt shows, the designs kinda stick in your mind.
