I need help finding a pattern for the quilt block called Mrs Cleveland's Choice. I'm also looking for a pattern for Widower's Choice Any help would be appreciated -
There's a picture of Mrs. Cleveland's Choice at http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/...zwfDU?start=12 .
There's an interesting discussion of the block in Old Patchwork Quilts by Ruth E. Finley. Finley writes, "As for Mrs. Cleveland, all the world admired her. Not since the coronation of Victoria of England, half a century before, had there been so youthfully romantic a public figure as this charming girl who at the age of twenty-two married the President of a great nation. Beautiful of face, gracious of manner, cultured of mind, Mrs. Cleveland as bride, wife and mother created a White House tradition as typical of the last quarter of the nineteenth century as had Mistress Madison [Dolly Madison, after whom another qult block was named] of the first."
Finley goes on to say that "'Mrs. Cleveland's Choice' connotes the mature democracy, strong at last and sure and free in national thought and act."
There's also a picture of Mrs. Cleveland's Choice on page 121 of Carrie Hall Blocks by Bettina Havig. The book says the block was also called County Fair.

Whenever I'm looking for a quilt block pattern online, I first web search using the block's name and then select "Images". Usually, I find what I'm seeking on the first try. Quilterscache will be in your results, if the pattern is on that website. Be sure to find out if the pattern has other names, because sometimes the pattern will be found only on the less common name.Comment

Great idea, Nancy! Thanks! I had never thought to use the "Images" when searching for blocks.
