Blazing Star
The Blazing Star is a glorious quilt in yellow and orange tones. Finishing with 2 two-inch strips it makes a top 80 inches wide by 92 long. Without border, the quilt is right for a twin bed, or border strips in white and yellow may be made.

Cherry Basket Quilt
Basket is among the most charming of old-time favorites, and this version of pieced basket with applique handle is particularly quaint. It may be developed from the pattern in any color plan, but old-time calico prints, red and yellow sprigged with a fine unbleached, are exactly suitable. Blocks finish 12 inches square.

The Butterfly Quilt
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.

Dresden Flowers
Seventy-one little embroidered squares set together in a definite plan, alternating with plain ones to make a pattern which crosses itself in diagonal lines of flowers, centering every large square with a flower wreath, block, is suggested here.

A Beautiful Tulip Quilt
The tulip is simple to do and is attractive in yellow, orange and green or rose and orchid with green on a white ground. It sets together like a diamond paned window with white blocks and colored squares. This requires 20 blocks 10 1/2 x 19, and 8 1/2 yards assorted colors.

Iris Applique Quilt
Some like to piece, while others prefer applique, and then there’s embroidery, but whatever your choice you should get the thrill of making a quilt.

The Honeymoon Cottage
Patchwork has nothing to do with cross-patches, but as Mrs. Wiggs used to say, it is “keepin’ the peace and doin’ away with scraps.” You’ll love to do something pieced for the treasure chest, maybe several quilts that will be cherished for a generation or maybe just a precious “patchedy” pillow to start with.
