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.
Can't wait!
