UNION, 3″, Dark
Union is the name given to today’s block by the Ladies Art Company (#120, c. 1895). Other slight deviations to this name were Union Block (Nancy Cabot) and Union Square (Carrie Hall, 1935).
You may also know it by An Effective Square (Ladies’ Home Journal, 1899) or Four Crowns (Kansas City Star, 1933).

OUR EDITOR, 3″, Dark
Our Editor is one of Clara Stone’s blocks from 1906. It’s a strange little block, to me there is something unsatisfying about it. The diagonal symmetry? And yet, it is a very well known block; well known enough that I through it would be remiss not to include it. What do you think?
When you put blocks together, it develops a secondary pattern in the corners:

PUSS IN THE CORNER, 3″, Dark
Today’s block is called Puss in the Corner (Nancy Cabot; Kansas City Star, 1932) or Pussy in the Corner (Grandmother Clark, 1931; Kansas City Star, 1949), depending on your source.
There are lots of other blocks that go by these names, too:

BACHELOR’S PUZZLE, 3″, Dark
This is one of the trickiest blocks I know; but I think you’re ready for it! It has a stunning 3-D effect.
Today’s block was first published as Bachelor’s Puzzle in 1931, in the Kansas City Star, and shortly after in Carrie Hall’s book in 1935. It also goes by the names: Building Blocks (Grandma Dexter, 1930s), The Pinwheel (Kansas City Star, 1938) and Road to Jerusalem (Nancy Cabot).

Fabric Key for Cutting
Extra hints from one of our fabulous pattern testers, Brenda Clough:
Brenda: “I drew the diagonal and seam lines on D. I put a pin in the corner point and through to the matching point on piece C, before pivoting it until the diagonal lined up with the A/C seam line then machined the relevant seam stopping at the corner and reversing.”

TABLE FOR FOUR, 3″, Dark
This is a simplification of a block by Nancy Page from the 1920s – 1940s era where it would have appeared in many publications as a syndicated column.
The original block has an additional seam, feel free to adjust your pattern to resemble the original if you desire:
Instead of cutting A in the pattern below, cut one 7/8″ x 6″ strip (taupe) and one 1¼” x 6″ strip (turquoise), join them on the long side, and cut four 1¼” units.

BABY BUNTING, 3″, Dark
Orange Judd Farmer, the Western edition of American Agriculturist, c. 1901 was the original source of Baby Bunting. A nice easy block. Enjoy!
