Mind you, it still doesn't answer the question but it sure gives a lot of insite as to what might have been the most bought pattern.
here's an interesting webs site that talks about the old quilts
Both of these links takes you to articles that are very interesting

SO far as I can tell, it might have been the Sunbonnet series.But when you talk about patterns does that also includes embroidery patterns? if so then check out this link.

it seems there is a huge difference between the oldest patterns used and the oldest patterns sold

This thread is so interesting, also because it demonstrates how many people read 'best selling' as 'most popular'. What does that say about the commercialization of society?

Hoo boy, whover thought there would be so many MANY beautiful patterns, - like more than 400?
I have never ever seen more than half of those pictured there! Those quilters in 1922 put us to shame! !!!
Not only were they inventive, one can see they valued, enjoyed and took pride in their quilting designs!
And a final note... The last pieced block iisted is a pieced little quilter's face!
What a treasure!
How I brought it up to readable size, is click on the thumbnail page, you will get half size, click again and it should pop up to full size. Included are applique patterns, quilting patterns, (Including a familry of kittens!!) and embrodiery, including a page of "crazy".
I am truly humbled! Thanks so very much for sharing so much rich creativity with us!

Well, Smithsonian has a few quilts from Colonial itimesin Pineapple and Tree of Life patterns. Now to research the ones from the1800's I saw an Irish chain and of course that involves the 9 patch and Snowball blocks,these were from the same time period 1820's. Oh and there was an early ladies needlework brochure with patterns in the early 1800's.
