Vermont Pine, State Historical Society of Iowa/The Quilt Index, c. 1901-1929.                   Made by Anna Hartley Kirk

This quilt is a vivid example of  visual movement!  When I look at it my eyes leap between the “spinning circle” with the small square centre and the “sailboats” balancing on the large square (“four corners of the world” maybe!!).  Imagine this quilt without the borders to tame it!

There is a great variation on this design on Shelly Zegart’s website.

In the quilt above, “one of these things is not like the other!”  But it still so belongs!  Do you see it?

Happy Stitching!
