How about an ongoing thread to showcase and discuss antique quilts?
The three I've pictured here are all from my husband's family. Unfortunately, the people who could tell us their stories are all passed on. The first was dated by a knowledgeable friend to the 1930s, the other two I just acquired last week and I have messaged my friend to have them dated. Can anyone here tell me names of the blocks? Or is there a website that can identify block patterns?

The bottom one looks like some version of Robbing Peter to Pay Paul. The middle one may be a string pieced Crossed Canoes. The top one looks like snowballs with squares to join them.
I like old quilts. They have lived - and lived to tell the tale.
