I could see why yesterday’s block was called As Time Goes By. It has a little hourglass in each corner. But the name of today’s block mystifies me. Most Marti Michell blocks are based on traditional patterns, and she usually draws their names from the older blocks that inspired her. The center of this block is clearly a Monkey Wrench; an antebellum quilt pattern. I can imagine butterflies in the corners, but there’s nothing remotely romantic about a monkey wrench. Unless, of course, your sweetheart is using one to show you how much he loves you by fixing your car. No, I’m not kidding. I think most men have a tough time saying those three little words. And buying chocolates or roses doesn’t come naturally, either. But if you’re very lucky (like me) you’ll find one who demonstrates affection by replacing dead light bulbs, mowing the lawn and opening stuck marmalade jars.
