Jessica Gamez Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Hi Everyone! Its been a while but I have been super busy lately. We just moved into a new house. We were getting a little cramped in the old house with one machine in the living room and the other in the family room and now we actually have a studio!! I will post pictures of it one of these days. it is gorgeous! Anyway, I received an email the other day from someone in Memphis trying to identify a quilt that his grandmother had made in the 50s. He wants to try to make one himself but doesnt know where to start. I have no idea where to lead him so I told him I would post on the forum. We need to know the quilt name, where to possibly get instructions and any hints on piecing. <a href=" title="SDC11370 by Jessica Brunnemer, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3342/3315846567_6c443003f6.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="SDC11370" /></a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 I have been wondering about you!! Thought you might have fallen off the face of the earth. Glad you are back...you are an inspiration!! I have that pattern in a book somewhere here...I need to move to so I can clean some things out! I looked through a couple of books I thought it would be in, but don't find it...I'll search some more...but first I have to quilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lizziesgirl Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Edyta Sitar from Marshall Michigan has a pattern that is really close to that called the Dresdan Star. Her web site is: www.laundrybasketquilts.com She is awesome on explaining how to do the steps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SandraC Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Hey Jessica... That is a beauty and I can help you! A few years ago I saw an antique quilt using this pattern and loved it....the next month didn't it appear in a Fons and Porter magazine, July/Aug 2004 edition! Then I got a little booklet by Marti Michell and her Perfect Patchwork Templates, Set F. In the mag and the templates the quilt is called Sunburst. Last summer I made up the blocks, just haven't put the quilt together yet. I did it as a hand-piecing project. I'll try to post a pic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandraC Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Well, not the best picture, but you can see that it is the same pattern! Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RitaR Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 I think the original quilt only had 12 diamonds around and the others have 14, 16, 18. That would be a lot of differnce in appearacne, fabric and stitching. Love the quilt.. wish I had one like that, too. Wish I had them all, but then would only only feel greedy for hjaving so many. Maybe I need to learn to be a little greedy, only have 1 quilt for my own bed. Need to finish the two hand applique quilts I have waiting. They are strictly for me, can't think well enough yet with all these meds.. so that has to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginnysnowden Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 So glad to hear from Rita, and Heidi! Missed you both. There is a similar pattern called "the dalia " I believe it is an old Amish pattern. As Rita said cannot think to clear because of meds.
