LITTLE LESS SUGAR, 6″, Light
Today is World Diabetes Day. Today’s block is based on the Chocolate Cake block from EQ7.
It is Chocolate Cake, modified, so I’ve called it Little Less Sugar. So just as we modify our cakes these days, I’ve modified today’s block!

RADIO WINDMILL, 3″, Dark
The Radio Windmill looks quite contemporary, but it was actually first published in the Kansas City Star in 1941. Nancy Cabot also called it just Windmill.

WHIRLPOOLS, 3″, Dark
We have only two dark blocks left! So for the next couple of days, I’ll give you some easy bonus blocks, just in case there are some in your collection you wish to replace before we start joining the blocks together.
Whirlpools is the name given to this block by Nancy Page in the Birmingham News in 1934; however, it has two other common names, which you might recognise: Windblown Square(McKim, 1931 or Hinson, 1973, differentiated according to colour placement by Jinny Beyer), and Balkan Puzzle (Grandmother Clark’s Patchwork Quilt Designs, 1932 and Nancy Cabot, Chicago Tribune, 1933, again differentiated by colour placement). I haven’t let the consternation over colour placement bother us, as neither of the original blocks were two-colour).
Nancy Cabot identified three names for this block. The names she used in addition to Balkan Puzzle were: Flowing Ribbons (Chicago Tribune, 1935) and Windblown Star (Chicago Tribune, 1933). Cabot tells us that the first record of the pattern was in 1778. You can see below that the piecing differs from our version:

COXEY’S CAMP, 3″, Dark
Coxey’s Camp is an early Ladies Art Company block (#95, in print c. 1895). It has also been called Coxey’s Army in the 1930’s by Nancy Cabot.
The block is named for Jacob Coxey who lead a peaceful march on Washington in 1894 to draw attention to the plight of the unemployed and to promote improvement to public works (Boutwell, 2012).

CHAIN AND BAR, 3″, Dark
Today’s block is first documented by Clare Stone in Practical Needlework, 1906. A lovely old-fashioned block.
It is also your last dark block! Yippee! There is another BONUS Block for today. Can you believe how far you’ve come?

ALBUM, 6″, Light
We’ve turned the corner for the final straight now! We’re back to our 6″ light blocks.
According to Barbara Brackman, Album comes from Quilter’s Newsletter Magazine (from an Heirloom Plastics Catalogue). The date is not stated, but, of course it must be after 1969 (when the magazine began).

GIRL’S JOY, 6″, Light
I was looking for a slightly unusual block to mix things up for you, when I found Girl’s Joy. And since today is International Children’s Day, it seemed highly appropriate to schedule it for today.
Girl’s Joy is yet another Ladies Art Company block (#382, 1897, also shown in Hall, 1935). Nancy Cabot also called it Maiden’s Delight (Chicago Tribune, 1937).
