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.

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:

How to Buy Cotton Quilting Fabric ? Part I
Buying quilting fabric seems like it should be pretty simple. And, frankly, when I began quilting it was simple. At least I made it that way.

INTERLINING MATERIAL
The warmth of the quilt will depend upon the thickness and kind of interlining you
use. If warmth is desired, have a thick interlining which means that the quilting lines must
be farther apart. If the quilting is to be close and elaborate the interlining must be thin.
When a bed cover of exceptional warmth is needed, use a comfort bat of cotton or wool.
This will be too thick to push the needle through easily, making even stitches impossible.
Instead of quilting, this coverlet must be tacked or tufted.
Cotton batting is most commonly used as interlining for quilts. One bat is enough for
a quilt, unless it is over size. Four bats will make three extra sized quilts by using the length
for width and piecing out the length. Sometimes a lightweight cotton blanket or flannel
ette is used, but the quilt will not have that soft puffiness that cotton gives.
The best bat costs a trifle more but the finished quilt is a thing of beauty. If flannelette is used for pad
ding, the breadths of cloth should be whipped together, as a seam will cause an ugly lump
in the quilt. We never use sheet wadding as a filler for a cover that is to be quilted; it is
much too stiff for easy work.
