Historic quilt - Wild Goose Chase - unidentified maker

From Finley, Ruth E., Old Patchwork Quilts and the Women Who Made Them. First published 1929. Once in a blue moon an inspiration to make a quilt comes whole, as a gift. The Wild Goose Chase above is a case in point. This traditional version of the pattern contains vertical rows of identical triangular shapes. It inspired me to make two wild goose chase quilts for the Security Blanket series. Wild Goose Chase (Brown Stripes) and Wild Goose Chase: B-2-Stealth Bomber, convert the triangles into stealth bomber silhouettes. Both the triangles of the original and its title aptly dovetail into the new works.
