Question Trying to find a puzzle for a quilt block

Does anyone remember a child's puzzle from many years ago that had wooden blocks in colors that were in a frame? Rearranging the wooden blocks would make 6 different quilt blocks.

The blocks were in bright colors and the puzzle had pattern sheets to be placed inside the frame with the different arrangements. The blocks were placed over the pattern to form a quilt block. It was great fun for young children.

If anyone knows where to find this puzzle (or if it's still made) please post. I'd love to get them for the new batch of nieces and nephews.

you might try a store that sells to teachers. my grandkids did not have that wooden puzzle, but their school had all of the shapes in a kit and the kids had to make the diagram out of the thick cardboard shapes

Here are some but they are not for sale. Jurg von Kanel makes them as a hobby. He does allow you to make a small number (less than 50)if you want to duplicate them. I'll keep looking to see if I can find some for sale.

Here's what I found on ebay. The last one looks like the closest thing that could be rearranged & inexpensive but there is only one available. If you could buy that one & if you know a woodworker maybe they could make you some.

Could you possibly send pictures of the sheets that came with the blocks?
