This is a fabulous quilt. No clue as to a pattern name. The picture really shows the talent of the maker. It is brilliant.
If DH can't give you any infomaybe there is someone else in his family you could ask. I think you have a treasure in this one. Alot of people are going to want to copy this one and I'm one of them. Thanks for posting.
peace

You can use the right angle ruler from the "Tri-Recs" tool set to draft this design. (This design is not shown in the design booklet that comes with the tools). Or, very simply, draw a square, any size you like. Mark the center of opposite sides. Then, looking at picture of quilt draw parallel lines from corner to center marks. Design made. Don't forget to add seam allowances when mking your pattern pieces. P.S., don'y know of a name for this design.

Great pattern. Easily drafted:
- if you want to make a 4 inch square, draw a 4 inch square and measure on two opposing sides a point at the 2 inch mark; then draw a line from one half way point to the opposite corner and the opposite 2 inch point to the other corner. Add your quarter inch cutting line all around and you have two templates as the light blue ones in the quilt are the same.
- if you want to make a 6 inch square, draw a 6 inch square and measure on two opposing sides a point at the 3 inch mark; then draw a line from one half way point to the opposite corner and the opposite 3 inch point to the other corner. Add your quarter inch cutting line all around and you have two templates, as the light blue ones in the quilt are the same.
- if you wish to make anything bigger just use the same ratio.
Beautiful heirloom. Good luck all!
