Quilt Notes: TRIANGLE(S) ASKEW is illustrated as a four-patch, drafted on a 10 x 10 grid in Rhoda Ochser Goldberg's QUILTING AND PATCHWORK DICTIONARY (1988), p.231. As TRIANGLE PUZZLE(S), the design made its debut in print in the Ladies Art Company Catalogue (#33), in the late 19th century. It was illustrated in Nancy Cabot's Chicago Tribune column on October 5, 1933, see left, and where she comments as follows:
"A puzzle design, so often the inspiration of interesting quilt patterns, is the basis of the quilt pattern offered today. Of the countless puzzle designs, this probably is the simplest. It is easy to piece, but when set together forms a continuous and complicated design over the entire coverlet."
