Quilt patterns from the 1800's
I was wondering if anyone might know of popular quilt patterns from the "Wild West" days. My cousin in Germany is creating his own saloon in an old barn on his property and I was thinking of making him a throw quilt to hang over a chair or something from the wild west saloon era. Anyone know of the common quilt block patterns that would have been used around that time? Thanks.

Yu might check books by Barbara Brackman. Several years ago she published a book of just pictures of patterns and their origin and date first published.
There is also a book with title something like "Quilts from the 1800's to 1930" or so. It might give you chronology of dates of patterns.

For the Wild West, these books are all about quilts of that time:
Ho for California! Pioneer Women and their quilts by Jean Ray Laury
The Quilt that Walked to Golden, Women and their quilts in the mountain west by Sandra Dallas
