Identify this quilt, please.

I found it! "Friendship Garden". I took CraftyPat suggestion that it was a 1930s quilt, googled it and found it. Apparently a lady named Laura Wheeler is credited with the design in January 1940. It was published in several newspapers across the country. Also had the names Friendship Ring, Astor, and Sunflower. You can now purchase the design. I think the curved pieces would slow me down. Thanks everyone for your interest and help.

What a wonderful vintage quilt! I really like that pattern as I have not seen it before. I bet we could simplify the piecing. And I definitely recognize some of those 40's fabrics...I have quilts my grandma made in that era.

My Grandma had a quilt similar to this. She called hers Josephs Coat of Many Colors, but that's just what she called it. What ever the name of your quilt is, it is beautiful. So glad you found such a treasure.
