Is it possible the maker of the quilt, made her own templates? My grandmother often made her own patterns for clothes and she used cardboard ceral boxes to make her templates for quilts like double wedding ring, grand moters fan, etc. I remember standing on the table when I was about 5 while she pinned newspaper to me to make a pattern and then cut down an old wool adult coat someone had given her to make a coat for me. Stitched up that coat on her old singer treadle as she did all her stitching. My other great aunt only baked in her old wood stove. Nummy chicken, cakes, cookies, you name it...Canned her own venison....oh my...those oldster's knew how to do survive.
