Crazy Ann is a quilt that can be done on the sewing machine as it is all straight seam sewing. If you cut the pieces all a seam larger and sew back to the unit sizes above, a block will finish 12 inches square. Its complex appearance unravels very simply — first piece an oblong A and another with colors reversed. Join them to form B, then join four squares B to make the swastika center to which four triangles C are added. Only one caution; the four pieced squares must go together in identical sequence in all of the blocks. If the whirl-like movement reverses in some, they will never set together properly.
This is one of the quilts so well beloved that we chose it to offer you. The Swastika-like motive comes in light blue with the four corner squares a medium blue, remainder of block and alternate plain squares white. Of course any colors may be used if you cut them yourself from a pattern, but the two blues with white always make an excellent combination.
Material Estimate: 42 blocks — 21 pieced and 21 plain — requires: 1¾ yards light blue, 6 yards white, 1½ yards medium blue — 9¼ yards complete.
