Make a Special Quilt with This Pretty Block
Black Gingham Adds Farmhouse Style and Charm!
This beautiful block will be so pretty in a quilt project. Incorporate it into a table runner, a wall quilt, or make several for a larger project. The block itself can also be finished off into a small quilt with or without added borders.
Traditional small-scale prints are given a farmhouse twist with the inclusion of black gingham. That unexpected choice ramps up the charm considerably.
Easy piecing is used to construct the block itself. Even though the center square has curved edges there’s no curved piecing involved.
Wool is used for the appliqued berries and leaves, which are embellished with embroidery. Quilting cotton will work nicely too. Or, if you dislike applique, the block will still be charming if you exclude them altogether.
The finished block, designed by Vicki McCarty from Calico Patch Designs, is 12″ square.
