Oklahoma Native American quilt-The Airplane Quilt

This quilt is from an Oklahoma Native American ladies trunk as was told to me. She was from Tallequah, Oklahoma. The pattern , the Airplane pattern was probably from one of Cappers weekly publications. Some of the publications that Cappers Weekly printed that included quilt patterns were Kansas Farmer, Cappers Farmer and several more. This quilt is in excellent condition, as it looked to be pretty much unused and now has had just one wash. It is hand quilted in the Baptist fan pattern at a 5 spi. Lots of feedsacks went into the making of this quilt. The separate pink binding was put on by hand. Airplane and Native American quilts are harder to come by and this is a good example of a quilt from the 1940's with that pattern. Oklahoma

1920's Wool Pendleton Indian Trade Blanket- reds/green

This wool Pendleton Indian blanket is one of the earlier blankets made by the Pendleton Company, although the label which is still there is unreadable. It may even be one of the earlier Beaver State by Pendleton blankets, as it has a very fine nap. This is a quality blanket showing some wear only on the binding on just the 2 ends, as shown. The sides have no wear at all. The condition of the blanket itself is excellent. The blanket was probably from the time period of 1915-1920's. The colors are very strong with no fade. Predominately red and green, with accents of 2 other green shades and white with an original red felt binding. The red in the blanket is a very deep rich blood red. The blanket hangs and displays well, no shrinkage and no moth problems. Sorry, but can't find any blankets like this in the popular blanket reference guides. A good quality blanket for a collection.
