My sister gave me some vintage quilt blocks for my birthday. The pattern is a fun variation of a pinwheel block, I think.
There are a few fabrics of interest. This blue background reminded me of a blue reproduction. It just happened to be in my stash, so I photographed the block on top of the repro print. I don't recall the name or maker, but there were a variety of blues with the same prints in pinks. I like the brown in this block, too.
An unusual color, don't you think?
This was the block that blew me away. Or, should I say "blue"? I am sure that I've never seen a blue with a pink also in the print. Blue with cheddar, yes, and even a chrome-like yellow, but not pink.
Here is a close-up. Has anyone seen this color combination before?

Your vintage blocks are lovely. I'm afraid I don't know enough about the fabrics to say about the pink and blue but doesn't it look great?
How lucky you are to receive such wonderful blocks! I can't say that I have seen the blue with pink. If it wasn't still dark I'd go rummage in my sewing room for the dating quilts book and see if I could find reference to it. I'll be sure to check it out later as you've peaked my interest now.
Did you ever figure out the name of this block? I think it's pretty neat!
