    the block is the same as drunkards path, just put together differently.
    Is it a variation of the drunkards path? It has 3 pie shaped pieces that make up the quarter circle. And the drunkards path pattern I've seen has one piece for the quarter circle.

    They are pieced.

    I consider it an early birthday gift from her as my birthday is next week :lol:

    It is hand quilted. And I am awaiting more info when it was made so I can make a label for it.
    What's the name of this pattern???

    I really don't know. My Aunt said wedding ring, but it looks more like a drunkards path variation to me. It is 81 years old tho and in excellent condition!

I can't bring myself to doing anything to restore it as I feel it would take away from it.

    I also have one that she made in the 1960's. Which is in really good shape.
    OMG that is priceless to have a pic of her with the quilt!! You are very lucky!
