[pamcook]

Kathryn (Or anyone!) would you know the name of this quilt pattern piece?

The closest thing I could find to it is Mariner's Compass. At first I thought it was a variation on the Pinwheel but you twigged my curiosity so I went searching. I'll keep looking in case there's something else.

This is the closest one I could find. Not quite the same but close.

I don't know what it is but it sure is a nice change from the common 8 Pointed Star. I'll send it to my Scottish/Canadian friend, she might know.

Is the whole quilt those blocks or just the one block? How old do you think it is?

I'm going to draw the pattern to add to my Circles quilt.

It’s a pillow. Someone gave it to my aunt in SW Ohio. Strong Appalachian heritage in that area. My cousin is trying to find the name. The center of it is different from anything I’ve ever seen.

I don't know the pattern, I like it. Pam...where in SW Ohio is your aunt from? Over 2 decades ago we lived in the foothills of the Appalachians in Gallipolis, Ohio. Across the Ohio River from West Virginia and nearing Kentucky.

Pat, our family moved to Middletown, Franklin, and Dayton in the early ‘50’s to work for Ford, GM, and NCR. They were from Breathitt, Magoffin, and Morgan Counties in KY. Both my parents’ families came to this continent in the 1600’s. Delaware to VA to N.C. to KY.

It was my many-great grandfather who was the first white landowner in Wilkes County, NC who happens to be Pam Phillip’s many-great grandfather.

Quite a legacy Pam. Thanks for your details.

What was your immigrant ancestor's last name, Pam, AND Pam?

[pamcook]

The shared ancestor surname is Holbrook.

One of our neighbors last name is Holbrook, he is from Maryland.

The shared ancestor surname is Holbrook.

Thanks, I haven't come across that name in the DE research I have done. My names are Beavins/Bivins, Renny, Aubrey and Dennis.

[pbp908]

If anyone else is doing research, my family names are James, Richardson, Holbrook, Brickey, Estep, Stidham, Stallard, Carter, Addington, Lawson, McCoy, McConnell, Duncan, Stith and a host of others.

Chances are if you had ancestors in Va., NC, SC, Tenn. and parts of Ky. we're related.

Strangely enough, my DNA test backed up all of my research. Ancestry is still refining their tests so the Irish and Scandinavian markers are finally showing up for me. I'm seriously considering taking the 23 and Me test as they seem to look at more markers.

I'm not sure what it is either. It sure has an interesting construction. I'll keep my eye out for it in my quilt books.
