How sweet. The first block looks like a play on the dresden plate, and the last is a Sun Bonnet Sue block. Sorry I can't help with the second one. Hopefully, someone else can.

The second one is reminiscent of a simplified Hawaiian quilt design to me.

Welcome to Board! beautiful quilts you have! The first one reminds me of dahlia pattern but not sure! Someone on here will know for sure-just keep reading.

With applique, many quilters create our own designs & templates. They look to be from the late 40's/early 50's. The last one is a variation on a Sunbonnet Sue (who was introduced in the 30's & continues to have a following even today) but I haven't seen that variation before. I haven't heard of a particular name of the first one. I've always just seen it called a 6-petal flower (she double layered it). Here's a link to a vintage repro pattern (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Quil...-/171010627002).

I'm not sure about the middle one. It's very clever how it looks like a flower inside a snowflake. I hope you can find out more about its history. How wonderful that you have preserved such sweet & beautiful links to your family's history.

Have you researched from the quilt pattern identification books such as books written by Barbara Brackman.

I have seen the first one called "daisy". I think I've seen something like the second one, with the fronds in green with flowered tips. Book it might be in is in storage.

Whatever their names are, you have a very great treasure. How wonderful and welcome.

has anyone noticed sunbonnet sue is facing sideways but her feet are forward ? -- !

donnajean 04-06-2016 04:42 AM

I remember sleeping under my grandmother's quilts, but regret that I don't have any of them. What a treasure you have.

Sunbonnet Sue also has a waistline tucked up under her bosom! First I've seen. LOL

I know the last one is a variation of Sunbonnet Sue, the second one might be a Hawaiian type applique quilt, I'm just not sure. Sorry I couldn't help you.

In my opinion, the first one looks like the Dahlia, although the dahlia quilt can have many rows of petals. The second one looks like Crossed Tulips, with a floral fabric. The third is a Sunbonnet Sue.
