Today's block from 90 Years Ago is called Counterpane.
Made for the first time in 1760 in the New England states, this quilt has all the charm of a very old block. It possesses the advantage of piecing so quickly that the modern housewife may easily achieve the correct dressing for her four poster reproduction without great tax on her other interests.
Patterns of this quilt design are 5 cents each, stamps or coin. Address Nancy Cabot, Chicago Tribune, or call at one of the Tribune Public Service offices.
