Quilt Notes: PROSPERITY, also called PROSPERITY BLOCK, is illustrated in the QUILTING AND PATCHWORK DICTIONARY by Rhoda Ochser Goldberg (1988), as a nine-patch block. It appeared in the Nancy Cabot Chicago Daily Tribune quilt column on June 7, 1933. Cabot (Loretta Leitner Rising) writes: "If pieced in bright, cheerful colors and prints this design has a gayety which even the most pessimistic will appreciate."
