Pots of Flower, c. 1930 (Quilt Revivals)

Pots of Flower, c. 1930Maker: Edith S. Slee Around 1930 Edith used a variety of fabrics for flowers, appliquéd to blocks. The stems and edge motifs are of green fabric produced during the 1930s and recognized today as "Depression Green." Quilt makers could order a variety of patterns during the '30s through local newspapers that featured a syndicated column from the Kansas City Star. Later, Marguerite Ickis identified this pattern as a variation of the Flowers in a Pot design in the 1949 Standard Book of Quilt Making and Collecting. |
