This one makes me super happy --and what a devoted quilter the Anna Green who kept it must have been! The first 30 pages are filled with graphite and crayon drawings of a wide variety of quilt square patterns, most of them with titles handwritten in cursive below the square, which I think make for a certain kind of poetry. Then a section of blank pages followed by 20 or so pages of patterns clipped from the newspaper, which I find wonderfully graphic as she laid them down, usually four to a page in a square. And there's a pile of more loose clipping that was stuck inside, which I guess she never got around to pasting in. For me, though, it is really all about the colorful hand-drawn ones, and I'd be pretty tempted to remove at least a few of them to put in frames and hang, perhaps in a grid. Lovely and very sweet.

Notebook measures 10 1/8" x 7 3/4". 30 pages of drawings (in this case I mean 30 page faces), and 20 pages (faces) of pasted clippings. Photos show all pages of drawings and a couple pages representative of clippings. Remaining pages blank. Very good condition.
