Stunning Vintage Quilt Fish Whirlgig Gold Fish Airplane

Featured for your enjoyment is a wonderful old quilt. The pattern on this one looks like fish in a circle with their noses touching each other. Sorry I could not find a pattern name to it. It is done in light colored blocks with a plain white stripe in-between each. The batting is a striped fabric inside, you can see this on the photo of the back. Now this one does have some loose blocks, I think a good sewer could repair them easily. Also there are 2 larger holes in the white strip. Also one seam here is let go. There are 3 smaller wear holes less then a quarter. It has 3 dark spots on one block about the size of a quarter. It is very repairable to those who know how, that isn’t me unfortunately. Still a wonderful old quilt. Machine sewn and hand tied. Measures 74” by 66”. I have received this information from a helpful Ruby Lane member...this block is in Barbara Brackman's Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns on pages 464-465. It is block number 3828. It has many names from different sources: fish; whirligig; fish block; gold fish (Kansas City Star-1931);trout and bass block; airplane motif (Kansas City Star-1947); flying fish (Kansas City Star-1947); dove in the window; fish circle; starfish; bass and trout.
