Double Nine Patch – Block 2 #KCStar #QAL

Appeared in the #KansasCityStar on February 16, 1929

Original size 9". If you have beens waiting for a simple design, the Dutch Nine Patch shown here is the answer. It is good for using old materials, scraps of wash frocks and aprons, for instance. Cutting patterns are made of cardboard from the 2 squares. The piece as shown in the sketch and set in a quilt with plain white squares the size of the pieced blocks.

Men are April when they woo, December when they wed. Maids are May when they are maids, but the sky changes when they are wives.

Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement.

Most civilization is based on cowardice. It’s so easy to civilize by teaching cowardice. You water down the standards which would lead to bravery. You restrain the will. You regulate the appetites. You fence in the horizons. You make a law for every movement. You deny the existence of chaos. You teach even the children to breathe slowly. You tame.
