I have some more lovely Lady of the Lake Quilts for you this week.  It certainly is a versatile pattern.

Lady of the Lake
Colorado
1880
63.5" x 73.5"

This one is pretty traditional.  It was probably red, white and green when made, the green having faded to tan.

Lady of the Lake
Double Pink
1880
74" x 74"

Isn't this a sweet one?  My granddaughter would love it just because it's pink!!

This is from an expired eBay listing.

Lady of the Lake with Grapevine Appliqué
Massachusetts
1850
93" x 96"

I love the sweet feel of this one.  It looks like it could be a crib quilt by its coloring and border, but it is way bigger than that!

From the eBay listing:

"What a treat this grand extra large initialed and dated 1850 Lady of the Lake quilt is with its beguiling mix of crisp pieced angles and hyper-detailed, graceful, applique borders! The initials, near the quilt's heart, are coyly hidden in tiny tonal embroidery and read CMW 1850 and in the adjacent block MGW. Collected in Massachusetts."

Lady of the Lake

I love this one and the glow it has.  Isn't it amazing?
