Jack-in-the-Pulpit is a forest flower that reminded settlers of the balcony-like platform that high-church clergy used. The pulpit had stairs and, sometimes, a canopy overhead. See our photos below.

Jack-in-the-Pulpit Jack-in-the-Pulpit Stone 1906 This variation of Jack-in-the-Pulpit—the colors are reversed to show the seam lines—is from Clara Stone's 1906 booklet Practical Needlework. Hall published this variation as Double Square in 1935. The same 12x12 grid was published in several variations of the block, each with different seam locations in the corners of the on-point square—the points that have squares in Stone's variation. Their names included The Dewey, Broken Dish, and Toad in the Puddle. To see them all, refer to Beyer's Quilter's Album of Patchwork Patterns (2009). |

Mrs. Cleveland's Choice Mrs. Cleveland's Choice This block is an honorary member of the Jack-in-the-Pulpit club. Frances Folsom was the Princess Diana of her day—young, beautiful, and hugely popular. She is one of only three politicians' wives to be honored with a block name, the others being Dolly Madison and Mrs. [William Jennings] Bryan. Just 21 when she married 48-year-old Grover Cleveland, Frances had known him all her life as a family friend. He had even bought her first baby carriage. Society eyebrows rose when word spread that he was courting Frances and not Frances' mother.
