When looking at Kentucky quilt style over on my Material Culture blog I looked for patterns named for Kentucky in the new Encyclopedia and BlockBase+. Not a lot: Nine as opposed to say California and Kansas that have dozens.
We just added this one to the third edition:
Star of Kentucky published in Comfort magazine in 1911.
#3723-5
I didn't have much of a clipping but the programmers got the idea.
A six-pointed star is probably the perfect pattern for the state.
In silk.
The whole mosaic idea based on a hexagon is so-o-o Kentucky.
And in cotton:
Found in the West Virginia project, made in Kentucky.
From Vintage Blessings, attributed to Kentucky.
