Many of the quilts made with this pattern would have had borders, and that would've been a smart move to avoid extra piecework. The blue also reminds me of an early 20th century synthetic blue that I've seen in Colonial Revival quilts, kind of like a cadet blue.<br /><br />If you come across anything, let me know. I'm holding out hope that one day a quilt with a label will surface.Bill Volckeninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02212965199140126299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373996407183148608.post-36254410091130922152011-06-15T09:00:19.465-07:002011-06-15T09:00:19.465-07:00Hi, it's Leigh.

Not an Arch, but there are (and have been) a bazillion Asian knockoff manufacturers for going on three decades, so I don't think you're going to be able to ID it. Nice colors, though; of course the blue mimics how double-process green would've faded out. And thanks to the previous poster for recommending my site.Leigh Fellnerhttp://hartcottagequilts.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373996407183148608.post-55606197570423452982011-06-14T23:33:29.130-07:002011-06-14T23:33:29.130-07:00Thank you, Sandra!
