Traditional Old Maid's Puzzle Quilt Block
The traditional Old Maid's Puzzle block has been called lots of names, and you can probably quadruple the name choices if you consider that different color configurations of the same layout are known by even more terms.The nine-patch block isn't difficult to make. It's assembled from six half-square triangle units and three plain squares. For this layout, I've chosen triangle squares in scrappy fall shades against a neutral background.
Finished Block Size: 12-inches Square
