The Nancy Page column was syndicated in many national newspapers during the 1930s. Six of these quilting patterns were published full-size, although with only one quarter of the pattern to save space. I put the pieces together to show you the completed design, but the eight original patterns are below, which might be easier to print if you’re going to need a pattern larger than normal printer paper.
Some of these designs were created for the Nancy Page series quilts, and others were associated with one-block quilts. The group is interesting because, as expected, some of them look traditional, but the Ring-on-Ring and Leaf patterns would also look wonderful on a more modern quilt.
An earlier post contains more Nancy Page quilting patterns — small advertisements for mail-away patterns that I enlarged. Click any image to enlarge.
It really helps seeing them in full view rather than just in 1/4. Thank you! 🙂
My favorite is the Lily. The little Bellflower would also be nice in a border. Thank you, Martha for all the work to create these images.
Thank you for sharing these quilting patterns! They’re fabulous and I’ll be definitely using them.
Thanks so much for sharing these quilting patterns. I’m a hand quilter and love seeing these old designs.
How wonderful! I think that these are so sweet! 🙂 Thanks for posting them! I love the old designs! Thanks Martha! Hugs, Mickie
These make me want to hand quilt something today!
So lovely! The sunshine is my favorite. I love any thing to do with the Nancy Page quilt club!
Thank you so much for posting these patterns I’m always looking for good quilt patterns.
Thank you so much for posting these! They are beautiful, but trickier than they look. I had the hardest time transferring the pattern, but I did finally finish quilting the sixth one down. It was a challenge for me–but a good challenge. Thanks for all of your historic research into quilting.
