Nancy Page Club Magic Vine Quilt

This is one of my favorite applique quilt designs. It appeared in newspapers around the country beginning in 1931. The flower vines are constructed block by block which makes them easier to applique. While the original series was a weekly project, I’ll be posting the blocks monthly. Next month I’ll post the border design so you can work on those strips while making the blocks.The finished quilt will measure 90″ x 108″ if you add all of the suggested borders. You’ll receive the quilt layout in the Beginning of the Quilt pattern.
I suggest purchasing a minimum of 8 yards for your background fabric. I’m using two shades of green as suggested and recommend purchasing 2 yards of each color. The rest of the fabrics you can probably pull from your scrap basket.

    This is an awesome quilt. As with all your quilt patterns, my old UFO’s just got pushed way down the list.
    Thanks for all you do for all of us.

    This is a fantastic quilt! But, I cannot get either one of the links to work in order to download “Beginning of the Quilt” or “Block One:Evening Primrose”.

    Thank you for your help, and thank you very much for these wonderful free patterns.

    Since I am new to applique this looks like a perfect for me to learn on. Love the pattern and the ability to use up all my scraps.

    I saw the Magic Vine Quilt over a year ago on a television quilting program, have had my eyes open for the pattern and directions since, what a wonderful surprise just now to find it. I immediately copied block 1, put the site in my “favorite places” and next month will be one of the first to look for the next block…..I have a smile on my face!! Martha

    I was wondering if you cut the background into 6 1/2′’ sections for the Block 2–Leaf Pattern, or do you do it in a single 6 1/2′’ wide strip? Is there a scheduled day when the new block will be posted each month? Carol

    Thank you so much for the Magic Vine pattern. I’ve been collecting patterns for years - esp. the old ones & have been hunting for this one!

  18. on 30 Mar 2007 at 8:05 pm Karen

    I just found this with a Google search. How fortunate for me. I am in the process of starting the Qrandmother’s Garden Quilt. The fabrics are no longer available, however, I think I can use these in place of the striped fabric. If not, think of the fun just creating this. Thank you for re-creating this.

    I just got home from a retreat in Shipshewana, IN. We were in Rebecca Haarer’s shop and she had 6 of the strips we are working on right now of the Magic Vine for sale at $25 each. They are very old and I think they must be from the original pattern and time (1930’s). It was nice to see the original patterns, but I am enjoying the 30’s repros I am using on the new fabrics!

  27. on 29 Jun 2007 at 8:49 am Suzanne

    Thank you so much for sharing this pattern. I love the vintage patterns and I really enjoy reading the Nancy Paige stories. You have a wonderful website—Thanks again

    I am really enjoying your beautiful patterns, expecially the Magic Vine. Hope you feel better with each day and life for you becomes organized once again. I had been afraid that the Magic Vine was “over” and I missed the last installment. Looking forward to completing this quilt.

    Is this great BOM series over? If so, many thanks, it’s a wonderful quilt. I have enjoyed the stories each month, too.

    I cannot get any blocks past number 8 of the baby quilt. Please help

  35. on 19 Nov 2007 at 8:10 am Phyllis

    Wondering if the Magic Vine patterns are completed? Looking at the quilt picture, it seems there are a few more flowers? Just wondering. Thank you for all you do. Love this site.

  36. on 02 Jan 2008 at 6:35 am Judy KC

    Just wanted to know if the Magic Vine BOM is finished/complete now? Thanks a bunch

  37. on 27 Jan 2008 at 7:34 pm Emmy

    I think I have it figured out–I think. I think there are 9 more flowers left to be put up. God bless, Emmy

  38. on 10 Feb 2008 at 7:12 am Emmy

    Now I think there are 7. God bless, Emmy

  39. on 21 Mar 2008 at 10:51 am Ruth

    Hi, I’m new to the Magic Vine, however, I have the book and the prints for the flowers. Anyone have any idea where I can find the lovely green prints for the leaves and stems? Sure would appreciate any help. Ruthie

  40. on 01 Apr 2008 at 5:13 pm Ruth Wiegand

    My mother made me a Magic Vine quilt more than 50 years ago and I would like to make one for my daughter. I have my mother’s sketches and templates for the flowers but need the size of the flower and leaf blocks and suggestions for quilting. I have been unable to download or find the pattern on your online store. Please help. Thanks.

  41. on 04 Apr 2008 at 9:55 am Phyllis

    I am so loving this BOM. I am way way behind on blocks, but will have the nicest booklet when this is all finished! Ruth, if you check out the “Beginning the Quilt” at the very top of the page, I believe it may give you the information you need. Good luck.

  42. on 10 Apr 2008 at 9:29 am Emmy

    Ruth, I just received the ” Nancy’s Notions” catalog and the fabrics are in there. You may also want to check Eleanor Burns’ website: http://www.quiltinaday.com/shoponline/fabric.asp
    I did just look there and it said they were currently out, but they will be getting more in. I hope this is a help. God bless, Emmy

  43. on 02 May 2008 at 12:57 pm Lori Ehrman

    I am missing block 15 somehow. and it’s not listed above. Did I miss something somewhere?

    Lori

  44. on 06 May 2008 at 4:59 am Janet Parde

    Lori, I have to scroll the page side-ways to access some of the blocks. It’s like they are hidden under the listings on the right side of the page. I found 15 that way. Now I am missing 17. I hope that it shows up, eventually! I made the first 9 for a gift for someone. They turned out wonderfully! Thanks so much to Gayle. Janet P.

  45. on 09 May 2008 at 7:28 am Barbara Hall

    Blocks 14 and 17 seem to be placed under the listings on the page. HELP
