I love seeing both these quilts together - I wonder if the block size is the same. The fringed quilt is rather large, 6 x 7 blocks with fringe on all four sides.

In my research on this same piece, that's the only time I've seen it called Darting Minnows...but then again, it just re-emphasizes the regionalism of particular names for patterns.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15140675211931598431noreply@blogger.com
