I stumbled across this site a while ago and then again the other day whilst searching for named blocks for another post.
It has over 90,000 quilts documented.
If you want to search for quilts from a particular time period - you can (from pre 1799 to present day).
If you want to search for a named block - you can
If you want to search for a Brackman ID number - you can (especially exciting for me but then I'm weird!)
It even has resources like lesson plans which you can use.
And you can add quilts to this - your own or (if you have written permission) an organisations
Seriously, check it out.
Meanwhile I'm off to create a pattern to recreate this quilt from 1800-1849 that is not just your standard on-point but has a zigzag sashing which I haven't seen before, and it is in several quilts in the time period.
Have fun browsing...
