Happy New Quilting Year!

I love the idea of making a "new" applique quilt with a pattern taken directly off of a real vintage quilt, especially the red and green applique quilts from the 1830s - 1860s. It makes me feel like I am continuing the legacy of a long ago sister-quilter, and paying homage to her work from a much harder time period (and, of course, creating a beautiful quilt for me/family!)

Does anyone know of a source for any of these patterns, or any patterns taken from actual quilts?

I did find Hoopla Patterns and ordered a beautiful quilt pattern from them.

Or does anyone know of a term for the type patterns I am looking for, so I can do a better Google search? So many of the reproductions are "based on" quilt blocks from the period, rather than actual quilts.

Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions!
