OLD MAID'S PUZZLE

ONE MAY be certain that "Old Maid's Puzzle" is a genuine antique, because there haven't been any "old maids" in a generation, and "bachelor girls" are not so easily puzzled!

The triangles and square here given are exact size of the finished parts in a block 9 inches square. Cut cardboard patterns from these. Trace around them onto material and cut a seam larger. This is really quite a simple block to piece, four squares of two varieties. The color scheme suggested uses odd scraps of pink, blue, and green prints with white set together checker-board style with alternate plain blocks, each color forming a pattern in diagonals across the whole quilt.

The "hour glass" quarter of this block repeated into a strip makes an attractive pieced border. Material Estimate: 72 blocks, 36 pieced and '36 plain, 8 blocks wide by 9 long and a 5-inch border all around will make a quilt 82 by 98 inches. It requires 1/2 yard pink, 1 yard blue, 11/2 yards green, and 6 yards white, a total of 9 yards. A geometric Tulip design or four flowers would quilt nicely on the alternate plain squares.
