WOMAN'S DAY/SEPTEMBER 1973
PATCHWORK EVERYWHERE
The bold geometric patterns of patch-
work are striking in today's homes and
can be used in decorating windows,
walls, tables, even floors as well as for
the more conventional quilts and pillows
The charm of patchwork-a uniquely Ameri can
craft-can be translated into paint, self-adhesive
vinyl, tile or other materials besides fabric. You can
, more~
re-create traditional patterns or create you r own,
juxtaposing independent design blocks or working
out an allover pattern . On this page we show some
traditional patterns. The bench pillows are, left to
right, "Georgetown Circle," "Steppi ng Stones" and
"G randmother's Choice"; the bench pad, "Double
Nine Patch"; the scalloped floor pillow, "Spinning
Triangles." And note the basket covered with a
patchwork of simil ~ r- pattern self-ad hesive vinyl.

You'll find the recipe on the back of spe-

It's .JE easy to make because it's a re-
