Nine Devil's Puzzles

Eleven-year-old Noah Ursrey and his eight-year-old brother Stephen were playing in the waves at Panama City Beach. When they were caught in a deadly riptide they screamed for help. Tabatha and Brittany Monroe were the first to hear them. They swam out to rescue the boys but were overpowered themselves. The same thing happened to the boys’ mom and dad, their 27-year-old cousin and 67-year-old grandmother. No lifeguards were present, and police opted to wait for a rescue boat. Dozens of people on the beach could only watch as the exhausted victims – 100 yards from shore – were swept into the Gulf of Mexico. Then someone shouted, “Form a human chain!” Hundreds of people did just that, linking arms and legs to save every one of them. Afterwards, one witness remarked, “To see people come to action to help TOTAL strangers is amazing! People who didn’t know each other went HAND IN HAND to reach them. Pause and IMAGINE that.”

  1. With this many blocks together, it looks like it's simply half square triangles with sashing and cornerstones---all set on point.
    But I can see from a previous post http://mombowe.blogspot.com/2017/08/devils-puzzle-block.html that this Devil's Puzzle quilt is constructed quite differently. It's really pretty. :-)

  2. Wow! Until you mentioned it, all I could see was nine blocks. I can't wait to show you what I'm making with these.
