Malaga, Washington 1937 |
It has been a bit neglected but I have returned to the documentation of the blocks and the women who made the quilt in 1937. I have unearthed some more fascinating material about the quiltmakers and their families (but it's a bit of a secret still).
I have also been researching the block patterns. Last week's search was for the name of this block.
Gussie Herr's block |
My block |
I tried all my books and BlockBase; the closest name I found was Brown Goose.
Brown Goose or Double Z |
It doesn't look the same, does it? But just turn around the corner half square triangles and the blocks are the same. I don't think Brown Goose suits my blocks so I have called them Hourglass Star.
Last week's CCCQ Revisited block was Block 18 Mary McKissick and this week's is Block 28 Mary McDowell.
