ANTIQUE GEOMETRIC QUILT DESIGNS CROW'S FOOT
| < INDEX
 |
Quilt Notes: this version of CROW'S FOOT is illustrated in Rhoda Oscher Goldberg's QUILTING AND PATCHWORK DICTIONARY, diagrammed on a full graph, and with general instructions on how to create your own templates. The same geometric configuration but with a different distribution of dark and light (and which looks much less like the tracks of a crow) is illustrated in Barbara Brackman's ENCYCLOPEDIA OF PIECED QUILT PATTERNS, and listed as first appearing in the LADIES ART COMPANY catalogue in the late 19th century. Both versions were illustrated in the Chicago Daily Tribune's Nancy Cabot column, the alternate on June 30, 1934, illustrated left.
Other designs utilizing tracks or footprints as geometric figures include FANCY FOOT, BEAR'S PAW, and PIGEON TOES.
