Patterns with Bias Tape

These kitschy patterns from the late 1960's and early 1970's intrigue me.
The designs were intended to embellish aprons and little girl's dresses, dishcloths, curtains, and under picture frames.
A more modern approach might be to use these in quilt squares.

This is a vintage Kate Marchbanks mailorder pattern, with a rooster, sunflower, and Sunbonnet Sam.
Details are added with rickrack and embroidery.
Here's a detail of the rooster's color chart


This Alice Brooks pattern has a nest with birds--one of the nicest patterns for a bird that I've seen.

Also a train, iris, watering can, and butterfly.

This Kate Marchbanks pattern of bird motifs would be perfect on a quilt.
I envision this on a quilt along with the vintage embroidery patterns for state birds.
I posted about another bias tape bird pattern previously. See the post here.
And another here.
And here!

Or you could do state flowers, along with these Kate Marchbanks bias tape floral motifs.
