Nancy Page was the name that was used by Florence La Ganke Harris for her quilt pattern column that was published in many newspapers from 1927 through 1943-44. It's a large pretty block that makes a secondary star pattern when multiple blocks are sewn together. This block is not at all like the more modern blocks by the same name. Today let's look at the Kaleidoscope quilt block designed by Nancy Page.
