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:

FRENCH STAR
NO COLLECTION of quilt block designs is complete without many
stars as this symbol was always a favorite.
The French Star is a Canadian pattern varying the eightpointed star of
diamondshaped blocks by introducing small melonshaped pieces of the back
ground color or of contrasting hue.
These melonshaped pieces in turn form a wreath and may divide the star into
two colors, as rose and pink, two shades of green or orange and yellow as suggested.
In making the French Star, sew two of the coneshaped pieces to each white
triangle, and then sew the corner squares to two of these blocks. The
small melonshaped blocks piece onto the center blocks; these in turn sew into
a circle to which are added the oblong blocks and strips which were made first.
This takes precise piecing but it makes an unusually attractive design when
complete, either for patchwork pillows or for a quilt top.
For the quilt, piece the star blocks together, using alternate
squares of white of exactly the same size as the pieced blocks and finish with
a border of white and color set in strips.
Material Estimate: 11inch blocks which measure I51/2 inches diagonally,
may be effectively set together on the diagonal with alternate plain white
blocks. 25 pieced blocks with 16 plain blocks, 16 half blocks and 4 quarters,
plus a 3inch border of white at top and bottom only, finishes 78 inches by
84 inches, requiring 61/2 yards of white, 1-1/2 yards orange, and 2 yards of yellow.
