Some of our quilt followers ask for harder and more intricate patterns and some
for something good looking that beginners can make. That's fair enough. Some
of us never would attempt the "Rising Sun" or "Kaleidoscope."
"The Road to Oklahoma" is extremely simple to piece and it may be made of
scrap materials. Yet when it is set together so that the little dark squares
make a continuous path across the quilt, it is charming.
This quilt block some way suggests wings - well, why not, isn't the road to
Oklahoma today an airway?
Blocks cut a seam larger to finish twelve inches square, or they may be the
seam less and finish about ten and one-half inches.
Material Estimate: These blocks are 12 inches square and there
are 42 blocks for the complete quilt, 21 pieced and 21 plain, which finishes
about 72 or 84 inches. It requires 9 yards of materials, 6 of light and 3 of
dark.
Quilting suggestions: Horn of Plenty is an unusual quilting pattern, or a
Feather Circle 10 inches in diameter.
