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:

Make The Best Quilts With The Long Arm Quilting Machine
Many traditional hand quilters don't agree with the fact that the Long Arm Quilting Machine was added to the list of the necessary tools in creating a quilt, considering that it would take the pleasure and the individuality of quilting.

Quilting Fabrics Through The Ages
Quilting Fabrics Through The Ages By Sigrid Gangsoy Quilting fabrics date back thousands of years and examples can be found in Japan, China, Korea, India, England, Scotland, Ireland, Scandinavia and Europe. The oldest example of quilting fabric is thought to have been found near the border between Mongolia and Siberia in a Scythian chieftain?s tomb and is thought to be as old a AD200. Many of the intricate spirals and cross-hatching techniques are still used by quilters today when practicing the art of wholecloth quilting.

KING'S CROWN
NOT really to bedeck the brow of some real king, but to make a quaint oldfashioned coverlet
the purpose of the King's Crown quilt block.
Very simple to piece are these two dissimilar triangles, which, when placed
together, make an interesting design square. Grouped for a quilt top they
form a more intricate pattern if the position of every other one is reversed,
than when set together in the usual checkerboard plan with alternate plain
white squares.
Size of the King's Crown block is ten inches if seams are allowed in addition to the cutting patterns.
Set together diagonally, with alternate plain white squares, five blocks wide,
six blocks long and with a three inch border all around, this quilt will finish
about 76x90 inches.
There are 30 pieced blocks, 20 plain blocks, 18 plain half blocks, cut diagonally, and 4 plain fourth blocks for the corners.
Material Estimate: It requires 1/2 yard red, 13/4 yards gold, and 61/2 yards of white to make up this quilt top, or a total of 834 yards. A Horn of Plenty or Feather Circle would be interesting on
the plain blocks.
