To All
I am grateful that you linked tome it helped me to find this forum. Sorry the blocks are still in storage from my move I have had some real bad health issues since moving and have not been able to unpack most things I own.

Interesting statement that you have "the book" as there are tons of books on this technique. This technique is ages old I have one my husband's great grand mother made around the early part of the 1900's (c. 1930 -1940 long before I was ever born ). I never claimed it was my original idea I only stated that I had looked at several sources and took the parts from several different areas that I liked and made my own version of it that suited me.
