Quilts in the Movies

I just watched The Miracle Worker, an amazing movie from 1962.
In her bedroom Annie Sullivan (played by Anne Bancroft) has a log
cabin quilt on the bed---
it seems to have a cretonne flounce. I always cry all the way through it---
not because of the quilt.

Here's another movie quilt

Little Women, 1949 starring June Allyson as Jo,
Elizabeth Taylor as Amy and Margaret O'Brien as the doomed Beth.
Spoiler Alert: Beth gets typhoid fever and dies under this quilt.

This movie is not quite the masterpiece The Miracle Worker is but the quilt is more interesting.

Applique.

A colorized publicity still. I saturated the color a bit.

Pattern related to this one I found on line.
