the original question was "best selling". Many of the old pattens were handed down from grandparent, to mom, to child (or other family members). Doubt any of the old pattens were "SOLD" prior to the late 20th century.
sorry.....
Oh, no reason to be sorry, but the original question isn't fitting what most of us have replied with.
If the question were "most popular" that would not reflect how many quilts were made using a specific pattern as anyone could LIKE a pattern.
Which pattern is used most often to make a quilt would pobably be the best way to phrase the question. And some of the standbys (log cabin, 9 patch, various stars) are used in conjunction with other designs quite often
