The artistic expertise of nineteenth-century quiltmakers awes us today as we dig into our stash to replicate their naive mastery of design. I often imagine our quilting sisters of long ago tossing light strips into one scrap bag and dark ones into another. ——Marianne

3D Diamonds

A version of “Sunshine & Shadow,” this Michigan quilt is foundation pieced in a variety of woolens and cottons, built around red wool flannel “chimney” blocks. The cot-tons are roller-printed. The quilt was made around 1880 by Emma Elizabeth Warren of Willis, and donated by an instructor at Scotch Settlement School in the Edison Institute Schools.

Object ID: 71.72.25

3D Diamonds QuiltSeveral Log Cabin variations call for assembling the

blocks so that four dark sides come together and

four light sides come together, forming a dark/light

diamond pattern. The 3D Diamonds pattern uses

the traditional single red square representing the

“chimney” as the center of the block.

(Note: For the quilt projects, some of the dimensions and patterns may have been altered slightly to conform to today’s cutting and piecing techniques.)
