Broken Stone

Elleretta found this photo and wanted to know the pattern name.

It's difficult to see the repeat block but it's familiar.

The quilt in the photo looks like silk but it's hard to say.
The pattern was published in 1931with three names:
Aunt Martha called it Broken Stone & Lover's Quarrel.
The Rural New Yorker called it New Wedding Ring.


You don't see many examples

Here's one from about 1935 that looks like it was inspired by the Aunt Martha design.

The quarter circles in the corners make almost a perfect circle.
The curves make a complex design---but it's not THAT hard to piece.

Here's one with sashed blocks. Hard to date from the photo.

BlockBase will draw you a pattern any size.
Here's a Quick Quilt version of 16 blocks.

A 10 inch block fits nicely on 8-1/2 x '11" paper.
Here are some templates from BlockBase.
