This pattern may be worked in narrow strips of different colours, and in that
case each strip should contain 1 row of patterns; or the quilt may be composed
of wide strips with several rows of patterns, those of one row being placed
between those of the preceding. In the first case, that is if you work narrow
strips, you may use several colours; but if wide strips are preferred, they
should be of two colours only. Our pattern was worked in wide strips, alternately
grey and red. Each strip is knitted the short way.

For a strip with five raised antique quilt patterns in the width cast on 20 stitches.
2nd row: Right side of the work. Slip 1, purl 1, * make 1, purl 4. Repeat
from * 3 times more; make 1, purl 2.
3rd row: Slip 1, knit all the stitches that were purled in the preceding row,
and purl all those that were made.
4th row: Slip 1, purl 1, * knit 1, make 1, purl 4. Repeat from * 3 times more;
knit 1, make 1, purl 2.

2 together, knit 2.
The second row of antique quilt patterns begins with the 16th row. There are only 4 in this
2nd row, so that after the 1st slipped stitch you purl 3 stitches instead of
1, and in the 2nd row, after the 4th made stitch, you purl 4 more stitches.
Repeat alternately these 2 rows of raised patterns, and when you have a sufficient
number of strips sew them together. Trim the quilt all round with a knotted
fringe of antique quilt patterns.
