The latest Patchwork Palooza block came out on Friday and I am pleased that I finished it. I didn’t finish it until last night, but I don’t want to get behind again.<\/p>\n

\"Set<\/a>
Set Sail, Patchwork Palooza block 13<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This block is called, by the Patchwork Palooza people, Set Sail. Historically it has several different names, including Old Maid\u2019s Puzzle or Hour Glass or  School Girl\u2019s Puzzle.  You can find this block in Barbara Brackman\u2019s Encyclopedia of Quilt Patterns<\/a>** as #1317.<\/p>\n

The name Old Maid\u2019s Puzzle is from Ladies Art Company #25. Not very P.C., as many of these names tend to be. <\/p>\n

The Hour Glass name is from Grandma Dexter. I had never heard of Grandma Dexter and had to look it up. Grandma Dexter is listed in the bibliography of the Encyclopedia of Quilt Patterns<\/a>** as a “series of booklets published in the early 1930s from the Virginia Snow Studios, apart of the Dexter Yarn and Thread Company and the Collingbourne Mills in Elgin, IL. Hmm. Interesting. More puzzles as I have never heard of that company either, but I am just interested and not an expert.<\/p>\n

The School Girl\u2019s Puzzle name is from Needlecraft Supply 1936, n.12.<\/p>\n

 I also found it Jinny Beyer\u2019s The Quilter\u2019s Album of Patchwork Patterns<\/a>, where it is called as Crosses & Losses (73-9). The name comes from Ladies Art Company, 1897. Beyer says it is also known as Bouncing Betty (!!??!!) (Progressive Farmer, 1933), Fox & Geese (Finley, 1929) and Hour Glass, as mentioned above.<\/p>\n

This is a block that I have always admired. I know I made a similar one for the Handbag Sampler<\/a>. I don’t think I have ever made it otherwise, so it makes me glad to have the opportunity to try it again.<\/p>\n

\"Week<\/a>
Week 13 Patchwork Palooza Block layout – Oct 2025<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I have also made a few of the alternate blocks. I think there will be another piece of sashing, but for now, I have a few of the blocks laid out without it. I just chose some random blocks, though I see now that two of them are Sawtooth Star types. I’ll choose some others once I get more of the alternate blocks made.<\/p>\n
