    I quilted this top for charity. It was put together by a member in my guild from orphan blocks that were donated. I think it would be nice to have the names. Do you recognize any of them????? There are several ladies in the guild with their eye on this one! :wink:

    Thanks for the help! :lol: :lol: :lol:

    The first one in the second row is called prairie queen and the third in the same row is Weathervane. That is a beautiful quilting job on the quilt.

    I looked in a book called 1000 Great Quilt Blocks by Maggie McCormick Gordon. Here's what I think some of them are. A couple I'll denote with a * to show they have the same design elements, but different color layout:

    Row one: Balkan Puzzle*, Water Wheel*, Next Door Neighbor
    Row two: Prairie Queen, Peace and Plenty, Weather Vane
    Row three: Yankee Puzzle, ???, Pierced Star
    Row four: ???, Contrary Wife*, Flutter Wheel

    I'll keep looking for the other 2.

    I'm Bumping this!
    I know someone can name the last two blocks. I'm sure they are from a pattern. It would be nice to have them all named before I turn this into the quild.

    Thanks for helping :!:
