After seeing the antique quilt display at the local APWN, I am trying to make an album of all the ones I have, their pattern, where I bought them, how much I paid, and how I have restored them (if needed) or plan to. Maybe you guys can help with with naming a few patterns/estimated ages?
Here are the links:
I'm blanking on the name of the first one, but the fabric colors are similar to one I own that was dated to the 1870's. Note that the green may have originally been brown, or so I'm told.
The Dresden Plates are saying 40's to me.
The first quilt is, I believe called Oak Leaf and Reel and dates from the
1850s. See the attached link.I believe the first one is an "Oak Leaf and Reel". probably a red and green quilt from the mid to late 1880s.
the second one, I don't know the name of . May be a made up block. Seems to be a variation of Goose in the Pond though.
If the third is the 8 pointed star.... that is a scrappy Lemoyne Star. also known by other names.
