She says the Suspension Bridge pattern was 18". Mine are both 13" - so they may indeed be earlier than I thought.Bill Volckeninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02212965199140126299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373996407183148608.post-9149879819885624582010-10-17T18:28:45.612-07:002010-10-17T18:28:45.612-07:00I'd love to see an original Clara Stone bookle...I'd love to see an original Clara Stone booklet and have searched for years to find one. nothing. The good news is the Stone quilt blocks are included in the American Legacy Quilt Index Series. Google and the website will come right up. <br /><br />The book American Quilts in the Modern Age, 1870-1940, features a Broken Circle quilt on the front cover and pages 34, 35. The colors are red, yellow, green, and dark blue with a date of 1880-1890. I believe this is the same block pattern as your quilt?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10221716515934339352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373996407183148608.post-41552668474301318442010-10-17T14:56:35.072-07:002010-10-17T14:56:35.072-07:00oOoo0OoOoo - now THAT I'd love to see!!

Hall's pattern was called Sunflower, Broken Circle, and Indian Summer. Maybe these quilts are earlier than 1925!!Bill Volckeninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02212965199140126299noreply@blogger.com
