Dating Fool's Puzzle

The Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns by Barbara Brackman has two blocks labeled Fool's Puzzle. One block has curved piecing in the manner of Drunkard's Path or Rob Peter and that pattern was published by Ladies Art Company prior to 1895. The second block called Fool's Puzzle uses trianglar pieces and was published by a magazine called Comfort and has a gloriously vague dating period of 1888 to 1942. dutchrose, I hope your block is the one with the curved piecing ... looks like a very pretty block even though it'll be tricky to piece. Good luck.
