Modern Cherries Quilt

A mid-20th-century applique?
Tough to tell from the photo.
The modernism in the block makes one think so.


Traditional cherry block reduced to the minimum.


The basics, a central rose and four pyramids of cherries.

Traditional cherry tree blocks from my Encyclopedia of Applique

So was it a commercial pattern or someone's design genius?

And then I found a close relative. This one in an online auction
from West Virginia

Also looks 20th century.
Positively festive!

  3. Amazing how you broke it down to figure the pieced block. I think there are other ways it could be assembled. I really like your color representation. It looks like a great quilt in the making.
