Nancy Page 1936-1937 Falling Leaves Quilt

 Falling Leaves.  A friend of mine emailed me a newspaper image and asked if this was another of those Nancy Page quilts.  I hadn't seen it before but, yes, it is!  Eighteen blocks in all.

Nancy Page 1931-1932 Garden Bouquet Quilt

 This one has cute Art Deco birds, a variety of flowers, and an "urn".




Nancy Page 1931 Leaf Quilt

 This appears to have been a small series of only four designs, which you would have repeated as many times as you needed to fill out however big a quilt you wanted.  They're very reminiscent of mid-19th century leaf and wreath quilts.  I never did find an image of a completed quilt, only the images of the individual blocks.

 We've managed to collect all 26 blocks and the wreath design for the 1934-1935 Nancy Page Laurel Wreath quilt.  See them here.

Anne Adams 1957

 Anne Adams from 1957!

Generally speaking, patterns are sequential, although over time it seems as though the numbers became a little irregular as, for example, Anne Adams 4672 from 1955 was sold longer than expected and thus was skipped in the 1957 rotation and didn't get reused until 1959.  The "missing" numbers aren't usually missing--they are usually designs that were introduced the year before.  In this instance, you'll probably find them in 1956.
