Judy Garland Summer Stock movie quilt

by Sherry

Name of quilt pattern in background. Judy Garland movie Summer Stock.

This quilt is hanging on a wall in the barn where Judy's dressing room is. While Gene Kelly is talking to her and rubbing her feet about the show's premiere performance. The quilt is skewed naturally and I can straighten it out in my photo program but haven't been able to save it straightened out!

I became interested in this quilt because while the design may not appear to be anything special, the more I looked at it the more I could see other shapes emerging from the negative spaces of the pattern. Of course it is not one that can be drawn easily on a grid with square as much of the pattern has diamond shapes in it, one square and 4 pentagons, resulting in curves where there aren't any.

Have looked all over the web to the best of my ability and it seems no one has noticed this quilt in this movie. There is the quilt in her bedroom that has been identified a few times, but not the one in the barn.

Only a quilter would notice an obscure quilt hanging in the background.

You're not the only one!!

I'm so glad to see this! I've been asking in quilt groups about this block and never have come up with an answer. My dream is to make this quilt, as this is one of my very favorite movies, but drafting the pattern is beyond my skills. I hope you find a name or pattern for it, if you do please update if you can! Thank you!

I take photos of the TV too

My friend said "Why are people in the bed?"

If you have something of the screen that you want to save, and have a word processing program with crop function: There is usually a Print Screen key in the upper right of the keyboard. On the desktop I press Ctrl + Prnt Scrn, go the the word processing program, rt click then paste, then crop off the screen shot edges.
On the laptop, Prnt Scrn is in red letters, so I have to press the Fn key, which is by the left Ctrl key and also is in red letters, then continue.
