This is reminder to my US readers to get out and vote today. Many of you quilt historians will recognize this block, even in two parts as 'Ararat'- Brackman #226.76. Published in the Kansas City Star, June 6, 1931. There was a companion/opposition block Giddap (donkey) that was published in July of 1931. These are the go to pieced blocks for republican and democrat as far as I know. Haven't seen any others-have you.
I don't want to appear partisan but I only have Ararat.
Two scans of vintage pillowcased quilt block in my collection. Block is 14.5" high x 19" wide. I haven't looked at the actual patterns but it seems like the elephant block is significantly smaller than the donkey.
