Coffee Cups

Coffee Cup/The Cup & Saucer

This 1935 block from the Kansas City Star also found a home as Coffee Cup in Carrie Hall's quilt-block collection (now in the Spencer Museum of Art at the University of Kansas); The Cup & Saucer is from a Star column of 1946.

The cup in the block at left is a little bit shorter and less tapered than the cup in both Hall's and the Star's blocks. We did our best.

A Japanese Garden

A Japanese Garden The Star, in 1934, billed this block as "a pattern to use your bright prints." The design shows a Japanese lantern.

#358, 1897




The Work BoxThis block is from the Ladies Art Company — No. 358, which means that it was in the company's first illustrated catalog, in 1897.

It could just as easily be called "Toy Box" for a child's quilt.
