a lovely friend's quilt

My lovely friend Meg was telling me the other day about the beautiful quilt her Mum made for her.  She sent some piccies over yesterday and I just had to share.


Here is the full quilt, I just love the colours, they are so Meg!

And here are a few of my favourite blocks.  The quilt was professionally quilted and I just love the detail you get from having that done.

Sunbonnet Sue I believe - love the quilting

a Dresden Plate - one of my faves

and this pretty, not sure what it's called.
Now my challenge to you, my dear friends, is can you identify the rest of the blocks for me?  I was telling Meg that each block has a name and a special significance but unfortunately that's as far as our history lesson went with my limited knowlege.  (Christine I'm looking directly at you here! :)

Well done Mrs Kiddle !  Beautiful work and it suits your Daughter very well I think.

    Lovely sampler quilt, got some names for you might have to look up the others

    Card Trick 2nd row right
    Honey Bee 3rd row middle
    Celtic applique last row middle
    School house variation 1st row right
    Ohio Star last row left

    2nd row left block I think could be Jacobs Ladder or split nine patch

    you got me thinking, many blocks have more than one name
    Have a great day
