Official State Quilt Blocks

Each state has an official quilt block, much like a state bird or state flower.

In 1907, the popular farm magazine Hearth & Home, kicked off its States-of-the-Union series of quilt patterns where readers from around the country were asked to contribute a quilt block representative of their state.

The 48 best patterns, including original designs and the senders’ favorites, then appeared in the magazine, but copies of the magazine from the early 1900s are difficult to find.

The patterns have been reprinted in books – I recommend one of these if you’d like a physical copy containing the original quilt block patterns: https://amzn.to/4i1jxMx
