Texas Treasure

I designed a quilt that is featured in the Texas Shop Hop 2025 magazine.  I titled it Texas Treasure after one of the two blocks used in the quilt.  Texas Treasure quilt block that I chose to use was identified by Nancy Page in the Birmingham News, June 21, 1938.  There are a couple of other blocks labeled Texas Treasure as presented in Jinny Beyer’s book, The Quilters Album of Patchwork Patterns (2009) but this one had great appeal for use as the center medallion.

The second block used in the quilt is labeled Battle of Alamo and was created by a Texas woman in 1836 according to an article by Nancy Cabot in the Chicago Tribune, March 26, 1933.

The photo included is a computer version of the quilt, designed on EQ 8.

A kit for the quilt will be available at Touch of Patience Quilt Shop in Taft, Texas on the official start date.

There is an error in the instructions on page 106.  In the Battle of Alamo block construction, step #8 it should read Bluebonnet Navy rather than Bluebonnet Blue.
