Recently, I made a quilt block in tribute to Clara Barton, the dedicated battlefield nurse who served during the Civil War. Today, her memory is revered by those who have read of her exemplary self-sacrifice and dedication to the welfare of “her” soldiers.

In an upcoming issue of magazine, you will be able to read an article that I wrote about Clara, having been inspired by all of my readings about her work. In the meantime, and since this quilt block is not featured in the article, I thought I’d share it with you today. To me, the colors of red and green symbolize hope and eternal renewal. The holly plant and the poinsettia are just two traditional Christmas plants that carry out that color scheme.

The block was originally designed by a quilt shop owner in Wisconsin circa 1930. Enjoy!
