Pioneer women made every imaginable kind of quilt ! Many times when crossing the prairies, they would sew together ( as they walked ) little bits of fabric, creating a 9-Patch, to be assembled later when more room was required.
There are so many different 9-patch variations, ( churn dash, hour glass, friendship star, prairie queen, card trick, to name a few ! ) And each state ( in the USA ) has it's own 'official' quilt block. One that I have run across often in the older quilts that seemed to be very popular, is the Ohio Star.
If strips of fabric were on hand, women often made log cabin quilts. And there are as many different varieties of the log cabin as there are 9-patch.
If irregular pieces of fabrics were on hand, many women made 'crazy quilts' . . . silks and velvets were popular for crazy quilts.
