Wrench Variations

A pattern that look so familiar but it's unusual....

But not unique. Wish I could read those notes but apparently

this one with the pink sashing was made by a woman named Mary Cuthbert.

It's a close relative of the very popular design known as Monkey Wrench or Hole in the Barn Door,

BlockBase # 1850

Not quite the same as a Monkey Wrench.

A Monkey Wrench is an adjustable wrench, I guess because

you can monkey around with it.

All the blocks in this post look to be about 1900-1920.

It's an interesting design....

So I'm adding it to the revision we are doing of the Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns

and BlockBase.

We are making progress on getting the book and the program

ready for a fall release.
