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:

Women use talent to honor servicemen
They work with thread and needles as they strive to create a memorial for the fallen. They are three area women who have actively been involved in quilting projects that become remembrances for those who have lost a loved one in battle.

THE ALBUM quilt is a real old-timer. Its original purpose was for a gift for a bride-to-be.
A group of friends would get together and each would piece a block and embroider her name upon it!
One block when completed is ten and one-half inches square if seams are added to these cutting units.
Set the blocks together diagonally with alternate white squares measuring ten and one-half inches.
The total number of pieced and white blocks used of course
varies according to the size and shape of the quilt desired.
Material Estimate: Blocks 10-1/2 inches square, 15 inches on the diagonal, require 2 yards of blue and 6 yards white. This allows for a large size quilt 79 inches wide by 85 inches long.
This would be five blocks long and 5 wide, diagonally placed, plus a 5-inch border of white at top and bottom and 2-inch border of white at sides.
All to-gether there are 25 pieced blocks, 16plain blocks, 16 plain 1/2 blocks, diagonally cut, and 4 plain 1/4 blocks on four corners.
