If you have the time sometime, go to a library and look thru some books about older and traditional quilts. These are all in the public domain. Use and adjust any you like.
Years ago I bought a book about 1001 quilt patterns. All old standards. That book alone could keep you busy for a lifetime.
I'll go look up the full name. It's no longer in print as far as I know, but you might find it in a library.
