Hello everyone,
Can anyone possibly help with me with the name of the pattern on this top? My former high-school teacher (long ago retired) has asked me to quilt this for her. It was made by her great aunt in 1933, an all-over applique.
I have tried, without any success, to find it, thru the internet and several resource books I have of Vintage and Antique patterns and quilts.
Thank you for anyone's help!
Gwen/Ohio

The first link listed is to the Michigan State University Museum quilt collection/index. The pattern is Pride of the Prairie.

Try doing a Google search on the names mentioned in this thread, then click on "images" to see if you can find the quilt through the images.

I don't know how to do this, but my son told me you can take a camera phone, take a good close up of the quilt, then somehow do a google image search. I think it has to do with that little image of the camera where you type in what you are searching for. If someone has actually done this, please tell us how you did it.

You can also simply click on the picture and drag it to the search engine. Then click on "search by image". I've done this many times, but it seems to bring up images with similar colors, not patterns.

Here's the result when I drag the OP's image into the search bar:

p.s. That is an absolutely gorgeous quilt!
