About Quilt Patterns
Quilt patterns carry the memory of the hands that first cut them, the Log Cabin with its light and dark halves stitched around a center square, the eight-pointed Star radiating across a field of muslin, the Pinwheel catching a prairie breeze in fabric. Passed down through family and friendship, these designs were often sampled together in one quilt top so a maker could show her full range of skill. The names themselves are a kind of poetry, Flying Geese, Dresden Plate, Sunbonnet Sue, rooted in the landscapes and lives of the women who invented them.
How to play

- 2Words run in straight lines.Across and down, and on the harder difficulties diagonally and backwards.
- 3It marks itself.Each word you find takes on its own soft colour on the grid and is crossed off the list.
- 4Choose a difficulty.Relaxed, Classic or Challenging set those directions and how much the word list helps — never the grid size. Tap the A buttons at the top to enlarge the letters, or pinch the grid.
