I am looking for the names of different types of quilting patterns. 
This should be a list of specific pattern designers, such as listed on
this site - http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/ - as well as different
types of patterns, such as listed on this site -
http://www.fabrics.net/LaurettePatterns.asp.

This should be a fairly easy project, but I just don't have the time.

Thanks!

Chuck,

I suspect that even a partially-comprehensive list would be
book-length.  This task isn't nearly as straightforward or manageable
as your other quilting question, I fear.

Just my two cents,

Would it be a bit better to come up with the Top 100 of each type -
designers and pattern styles?

Thanks,
Chuck

Excellent work.  Helped me to focus my research objectives.  Very good job!

Great job, Paf.
I wonder if there is a pattern called:  "can't see the woods for the trees".
