PANSY APPLIQUÉ & QUILTED QUILT
Item No. 660
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 [2].” |

“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 your own
prints for top wings and plain cloth for lower wings; all different
would surely make a quite permissible plan for butterflies.
“The butterflies are so simplified as to be quite easy to piece.
Antennae or feelers are a black chain stitch and an outlining of black
is suggested in the instruction sheet which accompanies each order.”
Ruby Short McKim [circa 1927]
The Butterfly Quilt was offered in the original McKim Studios' Designs Worth Doing Catalogs and 101 Patchwork Patterns
– long before the invention of rotary cutting tools. McKim Studios
Revival has reproduced this pattern with new instructions for
today’s quilter.
The original blocks finished 12"
square. Cutting charts for 3 block sizes along with construction and
finishing instructions are provided for Queen, Crib and Wall/Table
Topper options. The 21st century version would be fabulous in
batiks, 30s prints or other fabrics of your choice.

“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.”
The Oriental Poppy Quilt patterns were offered circa 1927 in Adventures in Needlecraft, Designs Worth Doing and 101 Patchwork Patterns
– long before the invention of rotary cutting tools. McKim Studios has
reproduced this pattern with new instructions for today’s quilter.
“The original was gorgeous in two values of red, a flame and a scarlet,
with the flower center of black, boilproof of course, and green
appliqué.” The 21st century version would be fabulous in batiks, 30s
prints or other fabrics of your choice.

"“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.” |

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

“Cloth panels hang from a rod in top
casing or through loops, and keep their shape better when lined. Use
fringe or braid across the bottom
“A pieced border of checker-board squares would be smart to finish the Mother Goose panel into a coverlet.”
WHAT A TREASURE!
This printed pattern is from an original pencil sketch, smudges and all, with perforations.
