SUMMARY- There are two different quilts represented here, though the second one is likely not complete in the patterns given. I also recall a quilt with this theme being published by Workbasket early on, giving you a block a month until you had enough to finish a quilt. It was also embroidered. So now I'm wondering just how many quilts were designed around this theme over the years.
All of Tower Press' publications were printed on extremely cheap newsprint paper, so pictures of samples are likely dark and hard to see detail. Still worth the price of admission. What Tower Press lacked in print quality, they more than made up for in providing creative, beautiful designs and projects.
