Years ago, DH visited a couple of FLW's houses. He bought me a book of patterns designed from the windows. I have just been too intimidated to try one. This is the book I have, and looking at the current cost, maybe I should insure it!! :shock: https://www.amazon.ca/Quilts-traditi.../dp/1885156138

I do have that book, too, and was surprised at the price! I have made a quilt out of that book and it has a Coonley house pattern, but not the playhouse one with the circles. I don't know how to upload my pictures or I would do that. There is a pattern book at the Library of Congress, but it will be expensive to have copies of the pages made. I think using lots of starch and cutting the black along the selvage edge and sewing slowly insures the straight lines.

Thank you for this site. My daughter is going to help me look at this site this coming week.

Quilts in the Tradition of Frank Lloyd Wright: Robinson, Jackie

This is an old book. Jackie had a nice presentation that she gave at quilt guilds around the country to promote her book. She dressed up like Frank & told about him 'in his own words'.

I don't know if this has the specific window you are look for or not. The book is out of print but available from used book sellers.

I do have this book and it has many window patterns, easy to follow directions. It has a Coonley house window pattern, but not the playhouse which has circular glass pieces in it...I'm assuming to be balloons. Thanks for your reply
