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:

BEAR'S PAW
THE Bear's Paw is unquestionably of frontier origin. Perhaps the pioneer father found such a track in
his field or garden one morning and the mother bravely thought "how interesting" instead of "how dangerous."
Then we suppose she transferred it to linsey woolsey or hickory dyed jean, using the
unworn parts of much bepatched garments into a sturdy quilt block!
All of our series of oldtime quilts have stories, more of them than we can
possibly know of course.
This very block, called "Bear's Paw" in certain localities is known as "Duck's
Foot in the Mud"! That must have come later, or in more safely settled
communities where the bears had moved on out even if paving had not
come in.
And the Friends down in Pennsylvania had the very same arrangement in
a block called neither "Bear's Paw" nor "Duck's Foot in the Mud," but "Hand
of Friendship." From this by curving the angles may have grown another
lovely block called "Hands All Around."
A Spiderweb stamped on the alternate plain squares would exactly fit and be
harmonious in design, as well as being a very easy pattern to quilt.
This is a simple block to seam. Make each section the size of the given pat
terns when finished which means allow seams extra.
Material Estimate: Set together with alternate white blocks. These will be
about 121/2 inches square, depending on the exact size of your pieced "Bear's
Paws," 36 blocks, 18 pieced and 18 plain, plus a threeinch border at top
and bottom will finish about 72 inches by 79 inches and require 5 yards of
white and 3 yards of colored material.
