names. I just ran across an overshot weaving pattern named "Orange
Blossom Special". Hardly old traditional stuff, but I offer it to
others who might be interested.

Of course there are the great old patterns such as Southern Whoopee, and
Wang Wang. But I can't wait to see what O Death looks like as a quilt.

Peter Hoover once told me about a healing quilt that Dan Tate used; it
was weighted with buckshot and held you down while you sweated out the
pizen or whatever. That might be what you're thinking of.

Yes, some names are common. I did some looking years ago, and found a
"Flowers of Edinburgh" quilt pattern. Hard to say what the
relationships might be, though there is a sense in which the quilt
pattern names share the sort of poetic impulse that gives names to
fiddle tunes.

I can't vouch for the truth of the matter, but I recall reading that
"flooers" in this name was a rhyming allusion to "sewers". Poetic
indeed!

What I've heard is that the title refers to the contents of slop
buckets dumped onto the streets before the advent of modern plumbing
and sewage.
