A search for traditional quilt blocks
whose names were inspired by the Bible has turned up an amazing
collection of 159blocks, including 38variations of the appliqué block,
“Rose of Sharon.”
The block
at the right was made by Patricia Cummings. Any attempt to study block
configurations can be very confusing, inasmuch as blocks often have more
than one name, depending on regional choices, a quilter's whims, and
the preferences of designers and publishers. As has been pointed out by
other quilt historians, there is never a “right” or a “wrong” name to
any given block and it is best to avoid being didactic about the issue.
Block to the right measures 18.5". The pattern was found in a Spool
Cotton Co. booklet.
