That Windblown Tulip is my favorite...I remember working on one of those as a Raffle Quilt with our guild in Nebraska. We used all pastels...yellow, blue, pink, rose and lavender for the tulips. It was a very popular pattern. From the looks of the green in your quilt, I would say it might be from the 30's. It has that look about it. It's a beautiful quilt for sure...you have a real treasure there.

Thank you all for your input on my tulip quilt. I am going to take you up on some of your suggestions for dating it. I appreciate what a great helpful group of people are on this board.

i love your quilts, can you tell me what book the barn raising log cabin is from and how many blocks, also what size is the center square? I'm new to the site and have been trying to find this picture for some time now.

This is a poignant illustration of why quilt labels are so necessary. This quilt is lacking one so I had no idea who made it, when or where it was made or the block pattern name. I don't think this aunt was a quilter so I've concluded she probably wasn't the maker. Then the mystery is, who did and why? I have since discovered it is called windblown tulips. As you can see it is made only of solid colors and has muslin on the back and was hand quilted. Does anyone have a guess as to when it may have been made. I know the decade when this particular pattern became popular which I won't mention now because I would like to hear your opinions. Thanks.
new to this site just love your quilt pics.
