Lady of the Lake Quilt Block - a Little History
QuiltingCoach Penny
History has it that the Lady of the Lake Quilt Block was named after a poem by Sir Walter Scott, published in 1810. The pioneer men and women loved the heroic tales of Sir Walter Scott, and the women honored him in their most practiced method of artistic expression by naming a patchwork block after the poem. The Lady of the Lake quilt block appeared shortly after publication of the poem, one showing up in Vermont some time before 1820. The pattern must have been popular because examples are found in most parts of the country, and it is one of the few quilt block patterns that have never been shown by other names.
