I found this quilt yesterday on Etsy, and wow, what a stunner!! It was called "Kaleidoscope" by the seller, but was found in Barbara Brackman's Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns, #425.7 "woven pattern"- kind of a boring name for such an exciting quilt. The pattern is based on a hexagon patch, and each patch is surrounded by interlocking, trapezoidal strips.
The detail view shows how it was done. It also reveals a plethora of polyester double knit fabrics and multicolored yarn ties. Every time I find something like this, it's hard to believe anyone would part with it, and it was reasonably priced. Can't wait for it to arrive!
Wonderful quilt! Will look forward to more photos of it. Congratulations!

When I was making them at Christmas-time, I wondered how they would look as a quilt. Now I know!
These are just like the quilts my Aunt Irene made. I sure do miss her. The other kinds were biscuit quilts stuffed with old nylons. It sure was warm. Made great tents in the front room!
