very attractive.

Colonial patchwork is like the patchwork of our great grandmothers but different
 It's made by sewing any number of pieces of fine calico other cottons together certain designs But the 'log cabin and the baske and all those other de- lightful old favorites are not included
 Instead, there range of designs that is thoroughly and yet that is old-tmev in atmosphere
 For Baby crib quilt there black cats rabbits and such.
 For quilt for fulsize bed there are odd geofetcal patterns, and landscapes with the trees bearing fruit and boys or girls playing beneath them!
 It is not hard do this patchworkfor each part of each pattern cut out and the design is stamped upon the quilt But fine needlework is necessary and the fin ished quilt shows just how skilled and careful one is
 Beside qilts there centers and scarfs and creep ing-rigs for babies and complete crib sets.
 And there morning -gories and tulips and holly hooks well as the patterns hinted at above
