I belong to the make it big and square it up club. This is easier and more accurate for me…. I then square the block down after assembly. ( CONFESSION TIME: I usually make my squares larger, to the full inch measurement. Placement of the lights and darks go a long way to define the look and style of the quilt.Ĭut squares of 4 – 7/8th (5) inches on the diagonal to make two half square triangles. They will also be briefer as they will be instructions with no detailed explanations of the blog post.įabrics: For most quilts I pick background fabric usually light colored ( I am partial to scrappy white on white fabrics) and I like mixed scraps of medium to dark colors. I think will make my instructions easier to understand. Adobe pdf lets you put tables into the file. I will tell you I am not good at formatting on this web page so in the future I will try making a pdf file, but first I have to buy a pdf ADOBE writer. This also allows my blog readers to use the information to make their own blocks. By posting the patch instructions here I am less likely to lose the file again. This patch is the basis for many blocks and quilts depending upon the orientation and placement of the blocks. I am posting the instructions and measurements for this patch on line because I had lost the original file ( computer crash) and just recently found a print-out so I am recreating it here. This makes the blocks directional so you have to pre- plan the quilt using a design wall. I have often used novelty fabrics that I have fussy cut as the square. ) I find by making these blocks it lets me make baby quilts quickly. Even using the same blocks ( I make tons of them with left over fabrics and various white on white fabrics as background. I think I like it because it can be set in so many different lay-out. ( I think season 500.) I have made several quilts using this block. I have first saw this block on Fons and Porter’s Love of Quilting PBS TV show. All block illustrations are from ELECTRIC QUILT BLOCK BASE.
