Quilt Notes: WEST WIND is illustrated in Jinny Beyer's QUILTER'S ALBUM (pg. #127-6) and dated back (in print) to at least Nancy Page's syndicated quilt column (1934). Beyer juxtaposes several 3 x 3 blocks constructed on a diagonal including variations of the exceedingly elegant BIRDS IN THE AIR.
Another name for WEST WIND is VICTORY BOAT. And there is a sense in the design of wind filling the sails of a small boat. Zephyrus (Ζέφυρος), the West Wind, is considered the most lovely and life-giving of all winds, because it is the Spring Wind. Compare at this site with MIGRATION SOUTH, also FOUR WINDS, which includes notes on the other three as well. And for more windy worlds in blessed quiltdom, how about:
