If you click on your download link and a web browser appears but only presents you with a white screen or downloading doesn't appear to take place, most likely there is an incompatibility between the web browser you are using, your system software, and the way our website serves files.

We have found that Firefox works very well!)However, if switching browsers does not work for you, try downloading it from your laptop or desktop computer rather than an iPad or mobile device.

This airplane quilt was supposedly found after flying around in the tornado in Joplin, Missouri a few years ago. Let's hope it's been re-united with its owner by now. Ragi Marino who has written the book on airplane quilts Flying High: The Airplane in Quilts used the same pattern when she made a copy of a crib quilt in her collection for the 2012 AQSG Quilt Study on Colonial Revival Quilts. Her pattern may have been the earliest of the patchwork airplanes, The Lone Eagle Quilt, designed by Emma S. Tyrrell for Successful Farming in January, 1929. The alternate block with the eagle has been done in embroidery and quilting. Stella Rubin has one for sale with the quilted eagle. Collector Joanna Rose showed one in her Infinite Variety show a few years ago. It's hard to see the eagle in the quilting but it's there. The New England Quilt Museum's airplane quilt also looks to have that quilting but again it's hard to see. In 1933 the Aunt Martha pattern company offered a pattern just for the plane in their catalog The Quilt Fair Comes To You. They called it Aeroplane and said "This shows the modern trend and explains how many designs originate." Copying patterns? I doubt that's what they meant but that airplane was such a good idea many pattern companies copied it. Laura Fisher's Inventory This pattern (with propeller in various places) was quite popular An all appliqued version honoring famous pilots was sold as a block collection in an online auction a few years ago. There's a subcategory Kansas Project & the Quilt Index Airplanes with circles and/or stars on the wings International Quilt Study Center & Museum collection From the Minnesota project & the Quilt Index Must have been made during World War II, From the Detroit News in the 1930s Sent in by a reader of their pattern feature. The News had their own pattern for their quilt club, a fat little plane with a triangular tail. This design (BlockBase #902) was published by several sources. With its nine-patch format it was a popular pattern. Add a wide white sashing and blue corner squares to create nine patches. Texas project & the Quilt Index Friends of Ophelia Parker Bloys signed blocks with appliqued propellers for a bridal shower quilt in 1939. From Julie Silber's inventory. Blocks on the diagonal. Massachusetts project & the Quilt Index Planes on the diagonal, blocks on the straight. Capper's Weekly published this pattern with a pieced propeller in 1930. BlockBase #903. The Kansas City Star copied it in 1940. This is one of the first quilts I made, and an article about airplane patterns is one of the first I published for Quilters' Newsletter in the 1970s.
