While each decade is filled with new trends in quilting, the popularity of 1930s quilts and quilt patterns is still going strong almost a century later. Spanning the Great Depression, quilting trends from the 1930s were very much influenced by their time, with quilters favoring scrap quilts over spending money on expensive fabric. Pastel colors were also trending with quilters during this time and many saw the light colors in their quilts as a way to be uplifting during hard times. If you can't get enough vintage quilt patterns and have always had a fondness for traditional quilts, then you'll love our collection of Depression Era quilt patterns and projects. Our collection of quilts inspired by America's Great Depression is budget-friendly and vintage-inspired, both of which are key to Depression era quilts. We've included block patterns popular during the 1930s, including Dresden plates, as well as several scrap quilt projects that are perfect for frugal quilters. If you can't get enough light and airy quilts, then you'll love our section of pretty pastel quilts that are reminiscent of typical 30s quilts popular with quilters in the Great Depression. Turn back the clock to one of America's most popular decades for quilting and choose your favorite project from our list of Depression era quilt patterns!

I probably have a dozen photos of quilts made in this pattern from the 1930s and '40s. It was quite popular despite its set-in Y seams. I never know where to file it because it's so miscellaneous. But it has a number in the BlockBase Miscellaneous category. BlockBase #4052 The earliest publication I've found was in the Rural New Yorker farm newspaper in 1933. They called it Bride's Bouquet or Nose Gay Quilt. The Laura Wheeler/Alice Brooks company syndicated a pattern--maybe a year or two later. And in 1937 when the Kansas City Star was asking readers to send in their favorites Anna A. Threlkeld of Waynesville, Missouri sent The Nosegays. You could set it by rotating the blocks, which several quilters did. Pat Sloan found this pastel delight on eBay. Here's a variation. Cockcomb attributed to H. H. VerMehren's mail order business in the 1930s. An 8" finished pattern from BlockBase See Tim Quilts for a post. I am not surprised he has a top in the pattern. It's just the kind of thing he likes. https://timquilts.com/tag/brides-bouquet-quilt-block/
I have been tripping around the past week. Last week I went to Sydney and then on the weekend up to Toowomba to "Precious Time" teaching. The girls were working on a variety of things, but a large group were commencing my BOM quilt"Stonefields" I am nearing the end of it, a few blocks left to applique,two borders of the flying geese to make and a few more hexagons to make. All going well it should be ready to send off to Ireland at the end of February as planned. I am borrowing a few photos from Lisa's blog at Precious Time Lisa had a brand new design wall, so we christened it with the Stonefields blocks Trish brought along her Ann Daggs. I had quilt envy as I have a few days of applique to finish mine. This was a quilt I did as a BOM several years ago. I arrived home with finishitis so decided I will finish my "Little Sparrow" quilt for summer school. I have just a few pieces left to applique so I am planning on having it appliqued and quilted by January for our show and tell. Meanwhile I am making my two quilts for summer school. After a year of nothing but quilting, I am looking forward to a year when I can do a bit of knitting and crochet again next year. There are some beautiful knitting patterns around for children so the little girls I knit for, Mabel,Clemence, Imogen and Audrey might all have something special next year.

While I may not be spending so much of my $$$$ on fabric this year.... hearing inspirational quilters speak and share their quilts is high on my list!
