Horoscope Quilt - Pattern No. 37
Aquarius

By Edith B. Crumb.

Aren't you having lots of fun planning and embroidering these designs on the border? The quilt is beginning to mean more and more to you, I am sure.

There will be just one more design for the border and then you will be ready for some quilting designs - the small planet designs which will go in the arrow strip that connected the border with the blocks and their bands of framing blue, white and blue.

The most harmonizing designs for Aquarius are, first Libra; second, Gemini; third, Sagittarius; fourth, Aries; and lastly, Leo; so if you wish to repeat one you know what ones to select.

The favorite color of the Aquarius person is pale green. The amethyst is the best gem, the favorite flower is the primrose and Saturday is supposed to be the fortunate day.

An Aquarian possesses the ability to lead in thought and in progress. A man who is married to an Aquarian woman should content himself with coming second in her plans. Humanity comes first.

The Aquarian is apt to be pulled in two directions - personal loyalty and service to humanity. She must remember that no person can serve two masters.
