A mid to late 20th century block.
It's a wheel design with an octagon in the center.
Not too hard to find in BlockBase
where it's #3600
Friendship Circle from the Laura Wheeler/
Alice Brooks syndicated columns of the 1930s.
12" blocks x 36 = 72" quilt
The artists at the Wheeler/Brooks studio were
big on scraps. I am surprised I have no other examples
made into quilts. It's a pretty great pattern and not toooooo
hard.
Aunt Martha did a similar design called Carnival Time.
A little different proportion. When we drew it up for
BlockBase #3599 we changed the proportions a bit.
Aunt Martha from the Quilt Index
I like those spinning wheels with the details in the corner.
I erased a few lines to get a simpler design.
