Description: First seen in the 1880's as Double Wrench, Wanderer's Path in the Wilderness, Robbing Peter to Pay Paul, or Solomon's Puzzle, this pattern was co-opted by The Women's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) very close to that time, and the moniker stuck. It obviously does look like a staggered path, so that makes sense! This quilt pattern was most oftenly associated with the WCTU in blue and white color schemes. And this was the first pattern to be used to raffle for fundraising!
This is just a terrific quilt; it is very well made and the dark green floral paisley print is such a comely contrast to the white.
Excellent piecing; superior to excellent quilting.
Backing: Solid off-white back.
Status: Ready to ship.
