There is a quilt like this in America's Quilts and Coverlets by Stafford and Bishop, on page 182 image 266 and 266a. It notes in the book "A quilt was made with this pattern in 1930 by a lady in Colorado". This quilt pattern is also found in "Quilts- Their Story and How to Make Them" by Marie D. Webster between pages 152 and 153. The page shows a quilt made in 1858 with colours of red, green, yellow and pink. Information I found about this quilt pattern mentioned this Indiana Wreath pattern was published in Mccall's in 1935. What a special applique floral pattern quilt with the central basket full of flowers surrounded by flowers of many colors and a border of vines. Beautiful quilting. It hangs and displays well. Great collectors quilt too. A super quilt indeed!!

Tree Of Life Quilt(q-374)- Circa 1960's, size 66x94. The condition of this quilt is excellent. This well made quilt made probably 40 or so years ago was a kit quilt. Very attractive with nice hand quilting and also hand cross-stitching. Several nice quilting patterns were also used on the ground areas. Hand quilting at 7-8 spi. The batting feels like a synthetic blend and the backing also a blend. This vine looking pattern has what look to be pineapples and flowers. A separate green binding is whipped on by hand . The backing is also green. Unsure of the company that originally sold this kit. Ready to use and clean. Acquired in Oklahoma.

Pictorial Childrens Donkey and Cart- circa 1940's, size 48x68. Condition is excellent on this applique youth or crib size quilt. A fun theme with the donkey pulling the cart with the child and mother and along side is the dog, the chicken and the flowers by the roadside.The man appears to be leading the donkey and a young boy riding the donkey. Above is the house with trees and flowers and then the whole design is framed by flowers in the corners. It is finished with a red binding. Lots of detail. In addition to the applique is the use of embroidery. This is a kit quilt, as there are faint dots for the quilting. I am unsure of the company who carried this pattern.
