HOOKER'S HAT PATCH PATTERN

If you’ve made any of my previous patterns, you know that I usually name my quilts after family members and friends. So perhaps you’re curious about who the hooker is! Well, there’s no scandalous family story here (at least not that I know of). General Hooker was an officer in the Civil War who rewarded the valiant efforts of his troops with a red patch to be worn on their hats. (Sort of reminds me of the stickers on college football helmets for outstanding plays in a game!) Perhaps Hooker’s patches looked something like the 3” red blocks in this quilt.
