I have seen it on the internet for as little as $2 and as much as $35 for a first edition. Either price or anywhere in between it is worth its weight in historical information.Angiehttp://www.angierapids.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8817147592907819874.post-34813736118951641842015-05-09T06:54:42.597-05:002015-05-09T06:54:42.597-05:00Thank you so much for taking the time to reply.

Mrs. Finley's book sites the nine-patch block to prior to 1770 and originating in Virginia (with no other specific location) honoring the last Queen of America. Since finding the block in Mrs. Finley's book several years ago I have been somewhat taken by it's history and by that of Queen Charlotte. More than one place is named for Queen Charlotte in the Commonwealth of Virginia but I have never come upon any earlier documentation (before 1929) that actually cites Charlottesville as the place of origin. I would very much be interested in finding that written down somewhere. Happy quilting!!Angie_HomeGrownhttp://www.angierapids.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8817147592907819874.post-21407624407372227752015-05-08T23:19:36.308-05:002015-05-08T23:19:36.308-05:00The information is from Nancy Cabot's Chicago ...The information is from Nancy Cabot's Chicago Tribune column published on April 17, 1933. I'm not saying that it originated in 1933 just that Nancy Cabot wrote about it that day. Nancy Cabot was selling patterns for the newspaper. She often gave a little history of the block when introducing her patterns. That's interesting that she would have copied without citing the source.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00980985826216329289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8817147592907819874.post-52455076193759114372015-05-08T19:40:36.084-05:002015-05-08T19:40:36.084-05:00I would be interested in where you quoted your inf...I would be interested in where you quoted your information on this quilt block. It did not originate in 1933. It is documented in Ruth Finley's book Old Patchwork Quilts and the Women Who Made Them that was published in 1929. If the quote is by Nancy Cabot she copied it word for word from Mrs. Finley's book on page 79.Angie_HomeGrownhttp://www.angierapids.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8817147592907819874.post-19586680738341280692013-08-17T18:10:11.250-05:002013-08-17T18:10:11.250-05:00me gusta!! la colcha esta preciosa
