This one's an antique, but very similar to Gwen Marston's version ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/pioneervalleygirl/4763468977/ ) I agree, we’re constantly re-discovering.

It's quite interesting to hear your thought process behind the idea and then how it relates with other work out there. Thanks! I really enjoyed this post!

I agree that a lot of what we do are recycled and updated versions of old quilts... nothing wrong with that! Happens in fashion so why not quilting :) I have to admit I sometimes am surprised by quilts in books I own and have flipped through many times!

I didn't pay much attention to that design then, so I thank you for shedding new light on it (albeit via a different route!). I'm thinking it would be great in rainbow colors, or various shades of the same color. Mmmm...too many possibilities! :o) Yours looks great, though!

Sometimes there is parallel discovery. The adaptations are what make some versions reproductions while others are works of art. As always, the attributions are appreciated. The stories behind each new work are certainly welcome inspiration. Histories and personal preferences add to each new version. Sometimes there is parallel discovery.
