Brad and I never do anything for New Year's. I don't remember us even ever going out. It wasn't that important to us and to be frank, we never remain awake until midnight.
We quilters tend to have a quilt pattern for everything and New Year's isn't forgotten. Here is a block published by Nancy Page in 1939:
When I found the Nancy Page block, I was actually looking for another. Many many years ago, I had purchased a bag of little bits of paper. A quilter of bygone years had saved little images of newspaper clippings all depicting quilt blocks. I'm sure she saved them for inspiration. Among the scraps was this one:
It certainly is festive and a bit busy but it's charming in it's own right. I've never seen a quilt of this pattern. Have you?
Wishing you all a safe and happy New Year!
Happy New Year! We are spending it quietly also. I wonder if anyone in the future will happen upon all the quilt patterns and blocks that I've saved on my computer. There's more than I'll ever make in many lifetimes.
