I had posted this picture as it was one of 24 quilts we found when we started going through my m-i-l's things after her death last October. As it seemed to be an unusual pattern to me I thought maybe the wonderful subscribers to this forum could help me. I took pictures of all the quilts before we divided them up. Didn't really want to take them to auction. Some of the quilts had been made by my m-i-l and some had been made by her mother. I can only hope to someday be able to make something as nice as those I have seen on this board.

I would love to call it that . . . . but as for going in your closet . .. . . I am a little partial to it myself. Thanks for the offer to take it off my hands anyway. :-)

No idea on the name of the pattern. I just wanted to put a bug in your ear about documentation on the quilts. For the quilts that you *know* that your MIL made, put a label on the back with her name and a date range for when you believe it was made.
You may want to enlist the help of a quilt historian to determine which quilts were made by her mother, and get labels on hers too. It'll REALLY matter in a generation or two. These are family heirlooms, and doing the legwork now will be easier than in 50 years.
