This page is being used to collection information about the history of designs developed from Froebel's Third Groundform / The Triple Blintz Basic Form. Please contact me if you know any of this information is incorrect or if you have any other information that should be added. Thank you.

As far as I know the Triple Blintz Basic Form itself first appears as a napkin fold, 'Serviette pliee en form de Croix du Sainct Esprit', in 'L'Escole parfaite des officiers de bouche' which was published by J Ribou in Paris in 1662.
