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:

WEATHERVANE
This patchwork pattern is called the Weathervane, and dates back to the time when greatgrandmother used that commodity to "calculate a change," instead of listening to a scientific forecast on the radio. But her pattern, the weathervane, is one of the loveliest of our oldtime quilt designs.
Cardboard patterns may be cut exact size from the units here given, the four
inch center square and three other shapes used. Trace around these with
a leadpencil onto your material and then cut a seam larger all around so the
finished block will be 12 inches square.
It makes up very simply; small green and white triangles sew into 8 squares
which combine with a green and a white square to make the four corner blocks.
White triangles on the gold form four other blocks, then they all set together
as shown to form the weathervane. This is a charming pattern for a quilted pil
low of silk scraps or calico; as well as for an entire quilt.
The quilt finishes 72 by 84 inches and includes 6 by 7 blocks, 21 pieced
blocks and 21 plain. It sets together with alternate plain 12inch squares and
requires 2 yards of green, 2 yards of gold (this allows for binding), and 41/2
yards white.
