Thursday Thirteen – 13 Quilts About the Weather

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:

 

  1. Blazing Sun
  2. Star of the Four Winds
  3. Weather Vane
  4. Sun Burst
  5. Sunshine and Shadow
  6. Wind-Mill
  7. Setting Sun
  8. Rainbow
  9. Flying Clouds
  10. Rising Sun
  11. Rainbow Star
  12. Sunbeam
  13. 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.
