One of them has this design, however they are all at a 45degree angle. I'm scouring the internet for more information on this pattern and can't find much - is there any update on the research of this pattern by chance that you could point me in the direction of?

Author ...Hi Lynn, thank you very much for the link. Author Wilene Smith is the person who had initiated the group discussion that I was part of, and the date of the article is from around the time of the discussion. So it's good to see what she was able to discover. Since learning about the WCTU and the theories about these quilt patterns, I've doubted the theories because it seems to me that any political or social message would be much more overt than it is in any of these patterns.Bill Volckeninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02212965199140126299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373996407183148608.post-80996365290686074522010-12-24T14:50:32.667-08:002010-12-24T14:50:32.667-08:00Just found a reference to the "tumbler" ...Just found a reference to the "tumbler" block.

It's likely that the first publication of the pattern was by Carrie Hall or the KC Star. if pattern publishers had any political agendas, they probably didn't match those of the WCTU.Bill Volckeninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02212965199140126299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373996407183148608.post-60854975973585312692010-11-02T00:50:12.709-07:002010-11-02T00:50:12.709-07:00Sounds to me you like rescuing the obscure that ha...Sounds to me you like rescuing the obscure that has a story to tell- If only we ever knew what that story was for real.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14919240469331985688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373996407183148608.post-6150440392821546712010-11-02T00:28:54.870-07:002010-11-02T00:28:54.870-07:00LOL, you may have read it in my Oct. 11 blog.

I <3 this quilt because there's no need to flip it. You can see both directions when it is displayed on a wall.Bill Volckeninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02212965199140126299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373996407183148608.post-75684006341975064952010-11-01T23:30:56.163-07:002010-11-01T23:30:56.163-07:00I read somewhere that these "goblets" al...I read somewhere that these "goblets" also could be read as decanters, as in wine decanters when turned on their heads.
