Cindy's Antique Quilts

This quilt is from an Oklahoma Native American ladies trunk as was told to me. She was from Tallequah, Oklahoma. The pattern , the Airplane pattern was probably from one of Cappers weekly publications. Some of the publications that Cappers Weekly printed that included quilt patterns were Kansas Farmer, Cappers Farmer and several more. This quilt is in excellent condition, as it looked to be pretty much unused and now has had just one wash. It is hand quilted in the Baptist fan pattern at a 5 spi. Lots of feedsacks went into the making of this quilt. The separate pink binding was put on by hand. Airplane and Native American quilts are harder to come by and this is a good example of a quilt from the 1940's with that pattern. Oklahoma
