This would be my guess also.
That would have been my guess. Have to keep watching this post to see what wins. BrendaK

Those of you that mention free patterns in newspapers and magazines are correct. I have some of the original Kansas City Star (newspaper) patterns from the 1930's. I also have patterns from Capers Weekly and the Workbasket magazine (1930-50's). In addition to these, the batting wrappers had patterns on the back. I have a few of those also. The free patterns on the internet have replaced them I guess. I know for sure our Grandmothers did not purchase patterns.

I rather suspect that the question has no real answer...
because the records just may not have been kept.
If the question is : "Which patterns were most made?"
Then it is probably the nine patch.
The early pioneer quilts were scrappy, and hand sewn, using one cut out square of fabric as the pattern, keeping it, and placing it on a scrap, and cutting carefully around it, and keeping the cut out pieces, perhaps sewing them together until the quilt was big enough.
