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. Photography by Deborah 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.
