The book from Amazon, "Quilting Designs from the Past" by Jenny Carr Kinney, I believe, is exactly what you're looking for...excellent! It is available for download on the Kindle if you have one ... it's just $8.19 on the Kindle as opposed to $19.77 for a paperback. It goes WAAAy back. The first chapter is 1810's-1830's. Chapter 4 is 1920's-1940's and includes Popular Designs, Repeating Blocks, Alternate Plain Blocks, Sashings and Borders and Medallion Quilts. Good luck!
