This spectacular quilt believed to have
been created by Emily Monroe, in about 1865, is a treasure. It
measures approximately 59" x 58" and consists of 54,
8 1/2" folk art blocks. Although the backgrounds of the blocks
consist of different fabrics including wool, twill, and cotton,
the quilt is basically considered a wool quilt.
This pattern has been beautifully created by Froncie who has isolated
every block in the quilt, giving each its own page. The original
stitches are described, many of which can be clearly seen in the
color picture shown in the actual block. In addition, each block
has its own page of line drawings to be used as templates.
Typical of Froncie's patterns, it also includes the history and
instructions-including graphics of various stitches to use - printed
on beautiful parchment paper. Detail close-up pictures and a laminated
Color Chart are also part of the pattern. In addition, an adorable
"needle minder" is added to make this historic pattern
even more unique. Packaged beautifully in a ribboned box to hold
both the pattern and your colloection of fabrics, Froncie's two-year
project is finally complete and will be a beautiful addition to
your historic collection of patterns. Regular price $125.00
