THURSDAY THIRTEEN
As I was browsing through quilt names (those of days ago fascinate me and cause me to wonder how they came about), I noticed that many pertained to the weather. Events in the lives of early quiltmakers often found their way into their quilting, and the weather definitely played a role in daily happenings.
Here are 13 that seem to have come from the weather or were weather related:
- Blazing Sun
- Star of the Four Winds
- Weather Vane
- Sun Burst
- Sunshine and Shadow
- Wind-Mill
- Setting Sun
- Rainbow
- Flying Clouds
- Rising Sun
- Rainbow Star
- Sunbeam
- North Wind
Are you familiar with any other weather related quilt patterns?

Neat list — it would be nice to see a sample block! I’m sure I’ve seen a block called “wind mill” before, though I’d guess there are a lot of them.
