"Spinning spools."

Made this quilt with a white background and cotton appliqué in solids, turkey red and drab olive green for a 1785 Connecticut house.
this one is black flannel background with wool appliqué
it is called a Backyard Gathering from Lisa Bonegean
i don’t know why I can’t find the pictures of the white ones- I made two twin size for that Connecticut house

Sunbonnet Aue was the first thing that came to mind for me.

Monkey wrench always makes me think of the past.

Any pattern that has been around since my grandmother's days would work like Churn Dash, Log Cabin, 4 or 9 patch and there are many more. It also helps if you use the right fabrics such as Civil War or Repo 30's. Good luck to you and your cousin on this adventure. Also, you could look up on Pinterest and type in vintage or old fashion quilts.

Definitely use civil war repros....

Jacob's Ladder, or just do a search for Kansas City Star Quilt Patterns. Those are old fashioned for sure.

Jane Quilter

Don't forget to use real thin batting , like quilters dream's "request", then dampen it to give it that old fashioned krinkle look as an added touch to your old fashioned patterns and fabric.
