    Name this pattern-1491778_10154009320705019_795286132_n.jpg

    This is a very old quilt and can't identify what the pattern is. Can anyone help? Thanks!

    I think it's a carpenters wheel.

    It looks like an adaptation of a wedding ring to me. The arches and footballs are very wedding ringish.

    Definitely not a carpenters wheel

    I have no clue but would not be surprised if it has something to do with a compass.

    I was thinking maybe an old captains wheel. Looks like an old version of the ones today.

    Just saw it on AOL images. Called Mariners Compass.

    Other names include "Caesar's Crown", "Grecian Star", and "Whirling Wheel".
    There is a picture just like it of a vintage quilt.

    Did more research, lots of blocks, most are called Caesars Star.

    I think you just may be right.

    It looks just like that Caesars crown. I took a visitor from Germany quilt shop hopping last Saturday and saw the most amazing mariners compass. It was just one large compass on the whole quilt in the most mesmerizing blues. So stunning. It looked different from this quilt given this quilt is beautiful too!

    You are right, the difference is the setting. The one here is sashed with pink.
