An interesting if miscellaneous quilt pattern.
This top from an online auction.
Here's the block.
Diamonds with a wedding ring like curve.
It's a variation of this one.
BlockBase #4047
A complex repeat (and complex piecing)
BlockBase tells me the pattern was published under two
different names in the mid-20th century.
Friendship Knot from the Laura Wheeler/Alice Brooks syndicate
and Friendship Wreath from Lockport Batting.
From Mary Koval's inventory
Despite the complexity many stitchers tackled it.
Project & the Quilt Index.
The block forms half a star with 4 diamonds. The lower
star points extend into wedding ring curves---4 pieces per durve.
Probably inspired by the Hands All Around antique
that Ruth Finley showed in her 1929 book.
Hands All Around variation
BlockBase #4044 from the Arizona Project & the Quilt Index.
See a post about the older design #4044 here:
I'd say the version at the top of the page was someone's individual drawing
(3 shapes per arc; 2 diamonds instead of 4)
Except I have more photos of the variation with 2 diamonds than the Laura Wheeler design
I'm going to have to number this one BlockBase #4047.5
Jesse Earl Childers from the West Virginia
Project & the Quilt Index.
Again from the West Virginia project.
My BlockBase drawing for #4047 isn't that accurate so I am not going to give you a pattern.
But there are plenty of patterns for the design with 4 diamonds out there on the internet.

The mystery design---
Has anyone ever seen it published before 1970.
It must have been!
