(And I hope it was not too much information!) (Brackman's reference number for this block is 3461 Pyrotechnics can be found in both Brackman's Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns as number 3461, as well as in BlockBase as number 3461.)
If this lady has access to BlockBase, she may find the pattern via a Name Search (search for "Pyrotechnics" under Search by Name), or via a Number Search (search for 3461 under Search by Number), and print the pattern out in any size she desires. I instructed and encouraged my students to draft their own patterns however, I provided a pattern for those who were not satisfied with their own drafting skills. Still, the design has some of the elegance and "feel" of a compass design. Instead, the center is a small circle (such as you would find in the center of a Dresden Plates). This pattern was a useful pattern to use in drafting a circular design that did not have a bazillion little points meeting in the center (as a Mariner's Compass does!). I taught this design as a drafting class many years ago. Brackman's work is quite comprehensive, and is a valuable tool for quilt historians and quiltmakers.) Brackman's Encyclopedia is also available in software, under the title BlockBase, by Electric Quilt. (The preceding documentation is from the book Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns, by Barbara Brackman, 1993. Kretsinger, in their book The Romance of the Patchwork Quilt in America, 1935, also called this pattern Pyrotechnics. It was also published, with the name "Wheel of Fortune," in the book American Quilts, by Elizabeth Wells Robertson, in 1948. The same pattern, with the name "Wheel," was also published by Farm Journal. The number 176 was assigned to it by LAC all patterns numbered 1-272 were in print by 1895, and may go back as far as 1889. The pattern to which your inquirer refers is a very old pattern, "Pyrotechnics," which was first published by the Ladies Art Company (LAC), credited as the first mail-order pattern company. Wow! 1989! - that was a lo-o-ong time ago! I was able to locate Donna and received the nicest and most informative of replies. Do you know anything about this pattern or this quilter or where I can look for further information. The block I am interested in is referenced at #176. The magazine makes reference to a pattern called Pyrotechnics. She made a quilt pattern that won an award.

What would you design with the Twisted Log Cabin 2 block? Post a quilt or two in the comments below. The Twist block is set in the six center spaces, and the rest of the spaces are just colored with solid fabrics. To increase the size of the quilt, I added borders to the top and bottom sides of the quilt. I colored the outer patches in the Twist blocks with the background fabric to soften the hard edges of the block.įor my second quilt, I used the Hexagonal – 12 layout from the Layout Library (Layouts by Style > Hexagonal).
This first quilt design is an on-point layout with sashing.
