Creola Bennett Pettway (1927–2015), "Half-Log Cabin" variation, 1949
Cotton and wool, 73 x 71 in.; Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Museum purchase and gift of the Souls Grown Deep Foundation
Creola Pettway made this "Housetop" variation as a gift for her brother and his fiancée when they announced their wedding plans. Each of four large blocks is constructed of four smaller blocks of Housetop quadrants; each has a slightly different arrangement of its components, as do the four strips that form the quilt’s border.
These images show the entirety of the quilts, including their handmade edges, against a white background.
