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.
