Flying Bats

Diamonds, squares and triangles.
Flying Bats: Appropriate for Halloween week


Earliest publication probably the Ladies Art Company catalog, which called it Slashed Album.

Here it is in their 1897 catalog.

Other companies picked it up.


Most of these are from online auctions

Velvets!


UPDATE: Last minute addition. I found the pattern as Yankee Charm in a Comfort magazine scrapbook kept by Mildred Dickerson in the Quilt Research Center at the University of Nebraska Libraries. Yankee Charm was sent to the magazine by Mrs. M.A. Sampson of Texas.

    I started to play a bit - very interesting block when set all-over without sashings, with half the blocks turned 90', or if set on point .. hh

    I love the secondary "swirling" design it makes. Also in the 1897 printing, may I ask what pattern #41 is called? It is remarkably close to one I've just begun researching.
    I just found your wonderful blog. Not sure how it's taken so long.
