I Need A Quilt Designer

Because I would love to make this quilt, but I want the whole pattern. Isn't it gorgeous!




This is Flower Basket Petit Point by Grace Snyder and it's made from 87,789 tiny pieced triangles (no there's no typo). The triangles are a mere 3/8 inches big or should I say small. Am I crazy to want to make this. I'm sure I am, but look how beautiful it is!

I found this in a Better Homes & Gardens American Patchwork & Quilting book (1985) (not my auction, but Amazon had no photos available and this book is chock full of awesome quilts--worth the 5.00 it's listed for).




Here's a closeup of the main block and the pattern is given for it in the book---I added it below, but I want to make the entire quilt like we see in the photo, so that's why I need a quilt designer! Who knows maybe one will decide they too just have to make this quilt and make up a pattern for the complete quilt.




Here's what they have in the book. These are scans, so they should be easy to read if you click on them to enlarge them. If you should by chance draft up the rest of the pattern please let us all know. ;)

Happy Stitching!
