Furnace Town Living Heritage Museum
2010 - 2011 Block of the Month Quilt

Rebekah Rose Quilt

The inspiration for the 2011 Block of the Month Quilt is from the book - “Rebekah Rose: A Girl of Old Furnace Town”, written by Grace A. Ayers.   Copies can be obtained by visiting our Gift Shop, or call us at
410-632-2032.

The traditional patterns were chosen and descriptions were written by Stacy Mitchell, owner of The Fine Needle in Snow Hill; to relate to Rebekah Rose’s life at Furnace Town.

There are 12 pieced and 4 appliqué patterns provided, as well as 2 house variations, a tree and several other block patterns. For each block, directions will be given for a 12”, 9” and 6” finished size.

The patterns and instructions are Adobe PDF files and are printable.
