Small quilt from an online auction. Looks to be 20th-century.
A pomegranate wreath.
There are a lot of wreaths in my Encyclopedia of Applique
but not this one.
Here's another, 1930-1960?, one of a pair of blocks
40" square.
I'd guess this was a pattern passed around in a small community
in Pennsylvania.
An 8" digital picture for a pattern.
We've been looking at pomegranates over at the Quilt History South Facebook page. Not really a Southern regional pattern. It's actually a classic of design that goes back centuries. Fun to see how quilters used it.

Are you planning to add this pattern to the Encyclopedia of Applique? Are you planning on a BlocBase type version of the Encyclopedia of Applique?
