Quilt Notes: SALAD BOWL is illustrated in Judy Rehmel's
THE QUILT I.D. BOOK: 4,000 ILLUSTRATED AND INDEXED PATTERNS, published by Prentice Hall, but without templates. The idea is to illustrate a crystal bowl. The top 4 tiers of triangles are pieced in strips.
For more "kitchen" quilt blocks, see KITCHEN WOODBOX and TEA LEAF, TUMBLERS, PUDDING & PIE, and arguably, how about FLYING SAUCER.
For another kitchen and food-oriented design with bilateral symmetry, compare with this lovely variation above left and tiled of SUGARLOAF, the traditional block dating back to at least 1931.
