Capt'n John--Okay I now realize that I'm in trouble. I took the names of the blocks off the wall of the museum. Based on your comments, I then looked some of them up in Barbara Brackman's Enclyclopedia. Yes there are a lot of names for some of the blocks. Sometimes the museum used a very generic naming convention. For instance, look at the block below. The museum called it "A Square in a Square". Well that covers a lot of ground. I couldn't even find this block in the encyclopedia. What would you say the name is?
I have a feeling that when I publish the names, there may be some "discussion". Maybe we should start with religion or politics and work our way up to quilt block names? Actually this is a lot of fun. So tomorrow we publish. Just a note, before you respond, I'm known for being kind to pets and small children.
