More like what is not a new block, but very interesting:
and here is a book:
Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns by Barbara Brackman. If you
have it please let us know if it gives dates when originated or when popular.

The book, Victory Quilts by Eleanor Burns would probably
provide some good ideas. It's sampler quilts from the 1940s. I imagine early

Not that I'm old, but the 1950's seem to be missing. Anybody have a place where I can locate information on the 1950's? Thanx! The Crazy Lady
