Southern Spin #8: Noxall

 

Noxall by Becky Brown

Pattern #8 in our Southern Spin sampler is Noxall, published by 
Hearth & Home magazine about 1900.

BlockBase+ # 3557

Noxall was an advertising pun, sort of like Uneeda Crackers.
Knocks All Competition.
Funnier back then.

And it is indeed a eye-catching block.

A circle in the center solves the problem of 8 seams intersecting.

A variation, about 1900

  1. Did Becky Briwn re-draft the pattern so the center has ten segments instead of eight?

    1. It took me a while to notice that the center of 5 sections goes with her outside ring. I'll mention it in the post.
