Original Quilt Designs. Part 4
Dresden FlowersSeventy-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. Two color schemes are suggested - rose, pink, orchid, sky blue and green being one
favorite, while coral, apricot, yellow, turquoise and green is another. In the first
instance alternate blocks may be pink, orchid or blue, while yellow or green is
recommended with the second grouping. Dresden

A Charming Nosegay QuiltWe have offered many quilt patterns, but never have we
shown a gayer one than the Nosegay quilt. If you choose, you may carry out the lacy
nosegay effect by using white embroidery material. The embroidery or lace holder for the
nosegay may be made in several ways. On the original quilt an eyelet embroidery about 6
inches wide was used. It takes 3 1/3 yards for the quilt. For a full size quilt, 80 by 84
inches, the following material is required: 9 1/6 yards high grade percale, or 9 1/6 yards
of finest sateen, assorted colors.
