A portion of a Beauty in the Home column announcing the Double Rose, the fourteenth pattern in the Flower Garden quilt.

Double Rose is 14th BlockThe Double Rose is one of the prettiest flowers we could have in our garden, so it has not been forgotten as one of the designs for the Flower Garden Quilt. And here it is waiting for you this week, ready and anxious to be included in your very own Garden Quilt.

In all, remember, there will be 21 different block patterns for this quilt, 20 being used for the top, which will be four blocks wide and five blocks long. The extra block should have 16 made alike which will be for the border to fit on the two sides and the end.

Please remember, also-that from now on no notice for patterns will run over one week, so you must watch this column closely in order to keep up with the other quilt makers and have just as many blocks as they.

A number of readers have asked if blocks might be had in advance; but that is impossible. No envelopes will be held for future patterns. By asking for one pattern at a time you will receive the most prompt service. To receive this fourteenth pattern, the Double Rose, just send your request for it to the Beauty in the Home Department, The Detroit News, enclosing with it a self-addressed, stamped envelope. Copies of this leaflet may also be secured by calling personally at Public Service Bureau in the Majestic Building or General Motors Building.
