 Jacobs
Ladder (or the Road to...)
This classic design has been called by many names. In 1915, Marie
Webster referred to it as Jacobs Ladder. In 1929, Ruth Finley called
it The Underground Railroad. This wasn't unusual - there were no
quilting or needlework magazines as we know them today. Although
some 19th century
 womens
magazines did show geometric designs for patchwork, they were rarely
named. The names we use today for most quilt blocks have a 20th
century origin - the newspaper circulation wars of the 1930's. In
that war, this design found itself recolored and renamed the Rocky
Road to California, the Broken Sugar Bowl, Steps to the Altar, Golden
Stairs and many more. This pattern includes two of the most popular
variations on this pattern, all based on the same block. Three sizes
of are given in this pattern. The Jacobs
Ladder quilt Pattern retails for $7.50. |
