Golden West Quilt - Vintage 1930's embroidery pattern

The Golden West Quilt, by Mary Erckenbrack, was originally published in The Star newspaper in the 1930's. The pattern consists of 24 designs. The familiar setting sun - emblem of the west - is number 25. It is the quilting pattern which is repeated on blank blocks of the quilt.

The pattern is suitable for coloring, painting, appliqué work, embroidery or a combination. You can choose redwork or bluework and make your quilt as simple or elaborate as you wish. 

The designs are approximately 6" square.  The patterns include color suggestions.  The suggested stitching is all straightaway, with no complicated knots. There are no quilt assembly instructions... but there never was room in the newspapers for really great instructions anyway!  Since the squares are all the same 6" square, you can copy the instructions of another quilt or assemble as you wish in simple rows.
