Antique Seven Sisters Quilt: Around 1900 an Arkansan woman carefully
pieced this Seven Sisters quilt and machine quilted it in a crosshatched grid.
The Seven Sisters block is named for the cluster of seven stars/seven
sisters called the Pleides and found in the constellation Taurus. The earliest
documented quilt featuring the Seven Sisters block is 1845. Not until 1895
was the pattern being published. This red, white, and blue Seven Sisters quilt
is in the collection of Janie Hipp and Mitch
Rogers.

McDaniel. Photo concept by Charlotte Enfield, who generously offered this
use on the guild website.
Red Hat Women quilt: Please tell us if you
know the source of the pattern or the quiltmaker so
we can give credit.
