CAPITAL T
Capital T is an old block. It first appeared in Louisville Farm and Fireside on February 15 in 1883, according to Jinny Beyer. It’s sported lots of similar names as it has been reproduced, year after year: Double T most frequently, but, also T Block, Imperial T and T Quarters.

BROKEN SASH
Broken Sash is just one of the names given to this simple little block and was probably published first by Nancy Cabot in the Chicago Tribune in the 1930s. Other titles include: Diamond in the Square, Dutch Tile, Friendship Album Quilt, Triangle Design, and A Friendship Block in Diamonds. I’ve always known it as Square in a Square, but I now think this classifies a whole group of such blocks, including ones like Economy, rather than just this one block.

SQUARES SQUARED
As I couldn’t find an official name for this simple little block, I’ve named it Squares Squared.

ECONOMY
Economy dates back to 1897 when it was published by the Ladies Art Company (cited in Beyer). An oldie, but a goodie.
It is sometimes also known as Economy Patch, which is the name given to it by Rose Kretsinger and Carrie Hall in The Romance of the Patchwork Quilt in America, 1935, according to Barbara Brackman, who also found it masquerading by various titles such as This and That, Thrift Block and Hour Glass (an earlier name offered by the Ladies Art Company, in around 1895).

MRS ROOSEVELT’S NECKTIE
Clara Stone named this block Mrs Roosevelt’s Necktie in 1906; however it is better known by the variations on Susannah (The Ladies Art Company, #485, 1922; Kansas City Star, 1929; Needlework Supply Company, 1938), Oh Susannah (Nancy Cabot; Hall, 1945).
