Default Looking for Quaker quilt patterns/pictures circa 1850

My quilt/book club recently read, The Last Runaway, about an English Quaker girl who comes to Ohio in the mid 1800's. She is a quilter and back in England she did patch work and hexagons but in Ohio the quilters were doing applique on white backgrounds as it was quicker. Seems at that time you needed a bunch of quilts in your dowry. Anyway, my group decided we each would make a quilt inspired by something in the book. We will enter them in our Guild's Quilt Show in May. So I thought I'd do a small Ohio style applique quilt as my project. Just taking a chance that someone here knows what I'm looking for. Author did provide some research sites on her website but I'm trying to surprise my group with my design. May in Jersey
