So we’ll just say things are perfect as they are. Just found it last week: “ No name: From a quilt about 1910.” But the sticky note concept might cause a riot in the shipping department. We could put a sticky note on every copy shipped with new/old patterns like this square inside a triangle pattern. But that might have caused a riot in the pattern-drawing department.

When I was enrolled in an art history class at the University of Kansas I came across Carrie Hall’s 800+ quilt blocks that she donated to the museum there in the 1930s.

When and how did your interest in quilt blocks come about?īarbara: I’ve always loved pattern.

I suppose that’s a fair question considering all the research and organization that went into compiling over 4,000 quilt block patterns. Among lots of thank yous and compliments, that’s the most common question Barbara Brackman gets in regard to her Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns book.
