I will take all of your suggestions and incorporate them into the label.
Enjoy every stitch!

the pattern is improved nine patch .
Also known as Glorified nine patch. My Mom also made a double wedding ring quilt and a red and white quilt in the pattern of Drunkard's Path. Those 3 patterns are really difficult. She said her sister taught her to make them and she made them all when she was 14. The fabrics are from that era too.
