White House & First Lady Quilting Blocks

In a previous post, I asked, “Were Any First Ladies Quilters or Needleworkers?”  I haven’t discovered any yet, but I’m still researching.

However, there were some quilting blocks named for a few First Ladies and their official residence.

  • White House Rose
  • White House Steps
  • Dolly Madison’s Star
  • Martha Washington’s Wreath
  • Mrs. Cleveland’s Choice
  • Aunt Martha’s Wild Rose (Would this, by some stretch of the imagination, be named for Martha Washington?
  • Ladies’ Delight (I suppose this could be for all the First Ladies.)

There must be more patterns for the White House and the First Ladies.  I’ve only begun my research.
