Description
Susquehanna Compass
This quilt is a true work of art, crafted by an Old Order Mennonite artisan. Inspired by a first-place county fair winner, it blends traditional patterns, vintage fabrics, and color theory. The quilt features 388 unique vintage fabric prints, transitioning smoothly from shade to shade. After assembling the blocks, the artisan dims the lights and arranges them carefully to achieve the perfect color gradient.
This square quilt offers versatility, rotating in any direction on the bed for a fresh perspective. Each corner showcases a beautiful color progression, from red, green, brown, and blue to soft pastels and neutral tones in the center. Mariner’s compasses and sawtooth stars, in varying sizes, are scattered across the design, while diagonal chain blocks anchor the quilt.
With its creative energy and charm, this quilt will add beauty to any home.
About the pattern:
Several traditional quilt patterns blend artistically to create this original design.
- Mariner’s Compass: The first known quilt featuring this design appeared in England in 1726. It represents a navigational compass, with a star radiating 16 to 32 points. This quilt includes varying sizes of the compass.
- Sawtooth Stars: These star blocks, made from triangles, feature points that saw into the center. This quilt displays both large and small sizes of these stars.
- Floral Squares: Blocks made from a single piece of floral fabric.
- Nine Patch: Represented by two sizes of white squares, sometimes called a Hidden Well anchors the quilt. Mary Ellen Hopkins developed this adaptation of the nine-patch block in 1989.
