Feathered Circle Quilting Design
By Edith B. Crumb.
Here is a quilting pattern which I am sure you will consider ideal for those plain blocks which alternate with the patchwork or piecework blocks.
There are several ways to use this in order to transfer it to your material.
One is to mark the blocks before they are joined and all you will have to do is to hold the cloth over the pattern against a window and trace it very lightly with a hard pencil.
Another is to perforate the pattern and use a special paste made to rub over it for stamping purposes.
A very simple one, however, is to draw two circles as shown and using No. 1 as a pattern lay it against the inside of the circle and repeat it until these leaves join, doing the same with No. 2. In this way there are sure to be no smudges or smears and you may either use a sharp hard pencil or scratch around the metal.
Be sure to make these pattern petals of heavy cardboard so that they will hold their shape longer than those of plain paper.
Do you like fiction? If so, you'll find both short stories and continued serials every day The Detroit News - The Home Newspaper
