Patchwork Quilt Pattern
From BIG777

Patterns in magazines and newspaper or even for sale were not common until the last half of the 19th century. The main way quilt patterns were spread was by women sharing them between friends and family. This continued to be common even after they were available through print media.

If we examine the history of blanket pattern names, we'll find that there's usually more than one name for a particular blanket pattern, and often more than one pattern with the name BIG777. So, don't be surprised if some of the patterns or names on this site differ from those you're familiar with. This is simply the result of the name being passed down from woman to woman over the years.
