Under-Represented Floral Design

Bouquet: Triple Flower on a stem, Roundish floral

Does it have an Encyclopedia of Applique Number?
NO!
Bettina has brought this to my attention with her question:

Pattern name?

Not in the book.

Although it is such a basic pattern structure it should be.

I recently came across a 1928 pattern by Emma S. Tyrrell in Wallace's Farmer. She called it Lily and said she'd drawn the pattern from an old quilt that had been used as a mattress pad.


And here it is as Cosmos in Woman's World with several other applique designs.





From Benoni Pearce's 1850 sampler in the Smithsonian

The all-appliqued version is related to the pieced/appliqued
Cleveland Lily types, which were far more common.

From the Flack collection

Pepper Cory owns this one with a variegated star/flower.
Place to stick in some extra chrome orange.

Ebay and online

Well, here's a discovery. Twin quilts---fraternal not identical
Note borders & 5-lobed florals


Great variation in Terry Thompson's collection




You see a lot more of the bouquets with a central floral
focus. There are plenty of these and they have a number:

#31.52 Rose of Sharon from Carrie Hall & Rose Kretsinger's book.



So, Bettina, not much information on the pattern.
But a good excuse to look at some red and green applique.
