"“The quilts are sateen with appliqué patches of the same material. If desired they can be lined and interlined with a single thickness of cotton wadding. The pillows are also sateen, 18x21 inches.

“Another attractive way to make the quilts and pillows, and much less expensive, is to use pink chambray for the girl and blue for the boy and outline the figures with perle cotton, instead of the appliqués.”

“Who doesn’t cherish the memory of the happy hours spent at the circus, with its pomp and splendor, its trained animals and trick clowns? And what child wouldn’t be proud to have this circus quilt for his or her very own—especially when it would be such fun helping mother make it in a few hours’ time."

As Advertised in 101 Patchwork Patterns
[ circa 1930 ]

"Here is an entirely new quilt that you will want—it’s so dainty, different and altogether stunning. Twenty-one butterflies in prints and plain colors of yellow, pink and blue are all in one delightful, rainbow-hued scheme. Or, you may use scraps of prints for top wings and plain cloth for lower wings; all different would surely make a quite permissible plan for butterflies.

"The Butterfly quilting design, shown on the quilted pillow in the sketch, would be lovely on the 21 alternate plain white blocks using a straight line lattice on the pieced ones."

LITTLE BO-PEEP and LITTLE BOY BLUE

Originally offered in Designs Worth Doing
[ circa 1930 ]

“If you wish these chubby babies stamped on material all ready to make we can supply them stamped on a beautiful quality finest cream muslin. Each block finishes 9 inches square stamped for appliqué placing and the three oblique lines to each corner as shown, which continue onto the alternate plain blocks by connecting with a ruler line after the blocks have been set together. Alternate blocks do not come stamped for quilting. All appliqué materials are included with each block in a yellow print, plain blue, flesh, and light tan, fast colors of course.

“The crib quilt as sketched has 4 boys and 4 girls, making the center 27 by 40 inches, to which a print border is added.”

[ circa 1930 ]

“One woman said, “Before I catch the quilt fever, I’ll have to see a pattern that’s entirely different and stunningly beautiful!” The Oriental Poppy is in answer, and beside filling those requirements it is really quite simple to make. The pieced poppy is all straight sewing, the sort that may be run up on the sewing machine, while the bottom half of the block has two leaves and a stem that whips down by hand.”

PATTERN INFO:
Pansy Blocks are 12" square

PRICE:
$15.00
As Advertised in 101 Patchwork Patterns
and Designs Worth Doing
[ circa 1930 ]

“This is an appliqué pattern using that gentle flower favorite, the pansy, conventionalized somewhat to form a center border which is really just twelve blocks, each 12 inches square. This is surely reducing the number of blocks in a quilt to a minimum, yet their close position on the quilt gives the effect of generous, even prodigal profusion.

“The quilting patterns suggested for making up this beautiful quilt include the center Feather Circle, 18 inches across, the Cable, Ostrich Plume, Feather Band and Pineapple.”
Many many thanks to my new friend, Melinda from Long Beach, Washington. She has been very generous with her time and expertise. I couldn't have completed this set without her!
