I'm planning to start my first quilt soon, and so I've been going through patterns online trying to decide what I want to make. Quilt patterns have all kinds of weird names, from the very traditional Flying Geese and Log Cabins to some more fun names like Drunkard's Path and Mariner's Star. They're named after everything - people, flowers, seasons, and in many cases, food.
So I was working my way down a list from a back issue of a quilting magazine - Orange Peel, Ginger and Tea Leaves, Spiced Wine. Orange Peel involves half circles rotated against each other, and Spiced Wine was an elaborate arrangement of holiday-colored squares. Ginger and Tea Leaves, however...was a cookie recipe. No mention in the description of being actual food instead of a quilt.
I was rather confused for a minute.
