Major Ringgold Quilt pattern

Hoopla is once again collaborating with The Shelburne Museum, to bring you another pattern from a gorgeous antique quilt. Said to have been made circa 1847-50, it commemorates Major Ringgold, as it has a signature block with his name on it. No information is known about the creator (s) at this point, but our research is indicating some fun educated guesses! The quilt is created with 20 different blocks and a stunning "pyramid" border and finishes at approximately 110" x 94".

Each block is lovingly recreated in the usual style of Hoopla patterns, with a great deal of research included over all - and for each block! Reminiscent of the era of the original quilt, the pattern instructions are beautifully printed with details included that only one who is personally viewing the quilt would see. You will receive close-up pictures, construction directions, FULL size pattern sheets, pertinent stencils, heat resistant mylar sheets, and acid-free sleeves to aid in organizing a binder, along with full size cover sheets of each block that can double as "tabs" in the binder. The story of the time period of Major Ringgold will unfold with each block you create. It will provide an interesting journey for you all!

More information is forthcoming as the pattern completion is coming to a close and will be off to the printer. It is scheduled to be issued in June. Watch for the details! It will be a one-of-a-kind, collectible Hoopla Baltimore  Album Quilt pattern. 
   
I hope you join me on this journey!
