Traditional quilt patterns brought to America by immigrants led to new patterns which further enriched our folk culture. Stilly River, thanks for sharing a classic design.
Quilting was carried to Hawai'i and the South Pacific by missionaries and emigrants, and some very interesting designs have developed. I found one of the older Hawaiian type (several pieces to the design, rather than the current type with one large design piece covering the surface) in an estate sale, a prized possession along with a log design from Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, we have no family quilts- just the picture of one in an old photograph of great grandparents.
