Quilts
YOU may be a confirmed "quilt fan" and have a chest full of beautiful coverlets and yet be
eager for one more handsome pattern; or you may be just on the verge of attempting your first quilt.
At any rate, you surely cannot be indifferent to the charms of patchwork - that simply isn't being done! This wholesome revival of quilt making which is so thoroughly sweeping the country is far more than a fad.
Quilts - Quilt Designs...
|
We have devised an hundred ways to fabricate floor coverings, draperies, and bedding. Which brings us to quilts and the no end of fascinating patterns and tales in their history. Through all the changing fads of woven beadbelts or melon seed portieres our quilts have been always with us.
A wholesome thing it is, too, that American women have so saved and planned and pieced. To have wrought beauty even from beautiful surroundings has not always been achieved; but to salvage beauty and usefulness from coarse waste materials was the everyday accomplishment of our pioneer mothers who hooked rugs and pieced quilts.
Some way we are apt to think of the quilt makers as mature or even old, but a second thought assures us they were often merely girls. Pioneer movements are not sponsored by those who have passed life's meridian. It takes youth, with its unspoiled imaginings to blaze trails, to leave the family hearth for the open road, to hazard security for chance.
So most of the families who surged their way westward were young as the civilization which they were formulating. A girlwife, driving an ox team, with her firstborn held close in her strong young arms or under her stronger young heart, was the heroine of the day.
Not that they called her a heroine then; no; but her timid sister who stayed with "pa and ma" back in York State or Ca'lina may have spent the rest of her spinster days in envying willful Emily who rode away with John.
And the story of their wanderings, their few original possessions, their accumulations, the friendships formed, their abiding faith and the home established, is the story of patchwork quilts.
Study the names of patterns and again you will know they were so christened by young ladies of imagination, sometimes devout, sometimes droll but always kindled by that divine spark of originality. Listen to this for a less than 500 word history, all quilt names stitched in bed coverlets, which are more comforting, if not more enduring, than words graven in stone:

QUILT MATERIALS
TO BEGIN WITH, I want to say something as trite as it is important and that is, "Use
the very best materials that you can afford for any and all handwork." Extravagance is
never smart, but good quilt materials are not expensive.
It's the sleazy ones, unreliable dyes and starched cloth that prove expensive in the end. Wash goods is gauged by the number of threads per square inch, "6872" is a fair grade of percale, "80 square" is excellent, the weight we usually use and some of the very fine imported ginghams run to "120 square."
A firm weave is imperative where one is cutting small triangles and diamonds where
part of each block must be bias. Imagine trying to fit bias sides of rayon crepe or voile
onto squares and you can see how totally unfitted such scraps are for quilt making. Coarse
linens, crash weight cretonne, and pongee unless deeply seamed ravel out too easily to be
suitable.
Romper cloth and any others that border onto ticking texture are too close weave
and heavy to quilt well. Cheap ginghams will shrink enough to pucker in a quilt top. So
to the firm weave must be added soft texture. "Buty chine" is a permanent luster satine of
finest quality which we recommend for excellent results. The finest materials certainly do make
the loveliest quilts.
