Using 8" blocks, this uniquely Southern pattern combines piecework & applique, which was particularly popular in Tennessee around the time of the Civil War. With its biblical name, Crown of Thorns remembers the women who suffered the loss of husbands & sons during the war, particularly Mahala Doyle of Tennessee. Her family was among the first casualties of the Civil War when they were killed by John Brown at the Pottawatomie Massacre. Pattern includes instructions for traditional piecing & applique as well as machine applique techniques and paper foundation piecing for the thorns. Finished size 53" square.
