In 1931, Needlework Supply published a quilt pattern by the name of Mrs. Smith’s Favorite. It was an intricate beauty, with 49 tiny pieces in every block. Of course, Mrs. Smith wasn’t the first to love this pattern. It was featured in several catalogs and given all sorts of fun names: Blackford’s Beauty, Black Beauty, and The Hunt, to name a few. But this week, Jenny is making it easy. With precut layer cake squares and a few simple tricks, Mrs. Smith’s Favorite is a true joy to stitch!
