What is the most famous quilt pattern?

The Log Cabin block is one of the most popular patchwork patterns. To pioneers traveling west, it symbolized home, love, and security. The center square was done in red to represent the hearth. The name “Log Cabin” comes from the narrow strips of fabric around the center square. Each strip of fabric was added to the pattern in the same way logs were stacked to build a cabin. The pattern could use almost any fabric scrap, so it was often the last step in recycling fabric. Many Log Cabin patterns were made in two colors, light and dark, with the colors divided diagonally. This showed the sun moving from east to west. As the sun rose, it lit the cabin. As the sun moved west, part of the cabin was in the shadow, creating the dark side of the block. This is the Sunshine and Shadow pattern.

What are the three quilts to make before marriage?

I read Alias Grace years ago. It was published in 1996. Margaret Atwood is one of my favorite writers. I started quilting a few years later, but it has shaped my life. I wasn’t going to take this TV series lightly. In the Netflix series Alias Grace, Grace Marks says there are three quilts a woman should make before she is married. Tree of Paradise, Flower Basket, and Pandora’s Box. Did this surprise anyone else? I heard that a woman should make a Double Wedding Ring before she is married because it teaches her quiltmaking skills. (Replace “getting married” with “becoming an adult,” and I can work with that.)

Also, Tree of Paradise and Flower Basket are familiar patterns, but Pandora’s Box is not. Is this a Canadian version of another pattern? I paused the show, studying the quilts on the clothesline. There’s a Flower Basket quilt in the breeze. I see Bow Tie quilt blocks, but that’s not it. Later, I found a Jelly Roll version of Pandora’s Box on Pinterest. It’s a framed four-patch. Later, I looked up Pandoras Box in Barbara Brackmans Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns. It’s a variation of Tumbling Cubes patchwork, with set-in seams. I study each quilt as it appears on screen. The first episode has the most. By the end of the series, I can recognize each quilt and know what scene it was in. I wonder if they didn’t have the right props or if it means something that the pineapple quilt from Grace and Mary Whitney’s bed shows up later on a quilt rack in Mr. Kinnear’s bedroom. What does the nine-patch quilt mean? She sleeps under that quilt when she moves to the Kinnear estate. Did she bring it with her? What does that mean? I’m inclined to read meaning into the presence of each quilt. She’s not the kind of writer to leave something emotionally resonant lying around. In her hands, everyday items become meaningful. (I had to edit out a tangent on Atwood’s novel Cats Eye; let’s stick with Alias Grace.) Grace talks to the doctor in a fancy sewing room. She stitches Log Cabin blocks by hand. Grace is making a quilt for the governor’s daughter, who is getting married. It’s a simple quilt, she tells the doctor. It will serve the new bride well for everyday use. She explains how the center of the block is traditionally red, to symbolize the hearth fire. She’s making a sunshine-and-shadows Log Cabin, with black and white fabric to box in that red hearthstone. I watch her hands as she stitches. Does she stitch the light and dark fabric in a different order? Does she lie to the doctor when stitching dark and tell the truth when she stitches light? Is it the other way around? Am I making things up? How does she make the quilt blocks so stiff? What kind of starch did they use back then? I study Grace’s words and actions. I’m just as ignorant about the world as he is (because he’s an upper-class male; because I’m living 150 years later). We both watch Grace’s life. He has the excuse of trying to help her. I can say this is fiction, so I don’t feel guilty. I look into her private world, but I don’t look away. The needle bites into the fabric, and I am mesmerized. The doctor asks what quilt I would make for myself. She lists a few—Jobs Tears, Tree of Paradise, Old Maids Puzzle. That’s a bit too appropriate, don’t you think? They’re all different. I think Grace is playing into how the doctor sees her, how we see her, giving him the answer he wants. Some may find the story of Alias Grace frustrating because they don’t get what they want. (The doctor didn’t know either.) When we learn in the final episode which quilt Grace makes for herself, Grace tells the doctor about the pattern, the changes, and the fabrics. THAT is the pay-off. That is why we quilt: to stitch together the painful and joyful pieces of life.
