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