Excerpt from Lessons in Fancywork
Second quilt. - Another, and much handsomer quilt is made as follows: Make as many blocks, eight inches square, as the size of your quilt demands. If the pieces composing these blocks are small, the quilt when finished will be far more beautiful than if they are large, but it will take m'uch longer to make. When they are joined together they must be placed in such a way that the outer row of blocks will form points all around the quilt. (see Illustration I.) Where the blocks are joined,-work over the seams fancy stitches to cover. Them the same as you did in joining the scraps forming the blocks. The lining must be cut to fit the points on the edge, and a silk cord must be sewed on all round the points to give a finish to them, and a small silk tassel or ball sewed to each point. A quilt thus finished in points looks extremely handsome. In making the blocks, for either style of quilt, a foun dation square, upon which to sew the scraps must be cut from either thin Canton flannel, or the good portions of a partly worn sheet. This makes a nice foundation because the muslin is soft and easy to sew upon. Some baste upon this muslin foundation a square of cotton batting, such as is used in the lining of velvet cloaks, and perhaps in an article as large as a quilt it is best to do so as it gives it a soft padded appearance. When basting the scraps of silk and velvet upon the foundation square be sure to carefully turn in the edges of the overlapping pieces and sew them down securely, so that when the fancy stitches are worked over them no frayed edges shall appear. The quilt may be lined with any material the worker prefers.
