Has anyone seen a Rising Sun pattern anywhere on the internet? A friend of mine is looking for the pattern, and has been unable to find it. She has a picture of what is looks like, but she can't find the pattern. I told her I would ask this group. They can find anything. I looked in EQ6, and there are some spinning sun blocks that she might be able to adapt. Thanks for any help you can give her.

Oops! That's not the pattern, it's a quilt. Sorry....
Karen, Queen of Squishies - signing off for today, I think I'm tired : )
I'm sure someone will find it for you, Sherry; but, if all else fails, you could do it in two halves with the tapered rays going into a Drunkard's Path type circle quadrant. Put two together and you would have a rising sun. . In message , Sherry Starr writes
So long as she has the picture she should be able to draw it out to scale on paper, cut into templates, and go from there.
I found that one, and emailed it to her. I think it is similar to Mariner's Compass, but more complicated. I think she will need to draw it out from the picture she has. She does a lot of things I consider complicated. She does beautiful work, and loves challenges.

Remember that book I was complaining about? The one that is a perfectly fine quilt book of itself but ought not to have been recomended for an absolute beginner?
"Quiltmaker's Fancy", it has a Rising Sun pattern.

I did a search and found this - it's Gorgeous and looks a bit complicated to me...even to draw it out!
Howdy!
It would depend on the interpretation of "Rising Sun." As this little history lesson points out, there are several options, depending on who's designing the pattern & naming it "Rising Sun":
Thankyou Sandy. Those are most interesting sites. I have printed and bookmarked them.
A big thanks to all of you. I think she is going to use the one with the pattern in the link Sandy gave us. She said she might add to it a little bit. She thought I just design this thing in EQ! I told her she could come to my house, and try to design it in EQ, but that my EQ skills aren't that good.
