1920's & 1930's 140 BLOCKS INCLUDING 16 cats in clothes, 61 flowers, 7 floral wreaths, 5 grapevine designs, 8 rabbits and moon child, 10 Rose of Sharon, 20 sunbonnet children, and much more! These blocks represent not only a popular revival of quilt interest, but the real birth of the quilt industry and quilt guilds. From World War I on, fabric notion companies, newspapers and magazines increasingly published old block patterns and invented new ones to fan the growing flames of quilt fever. This period’s style favored appliqués of clear pastel fruit and flower colors, often set against white. |
