This Block is Stunning in Any Color Theme

This striking block is the first block of the Benjamin Franklin Mystery quilt from Erik Homemade. It’s a stunning block that can be used in many types of projects.

Add borders (or not) and finish one block for a beautiful table or wall quilt. Combine three for a runner, and more for a larger project.

While we love the Americana look and feel, the block will be great in other colors as well. Play with color to make your own wonderful version.

Block found on Pinterest. Notice the thin border on the center square to compensate for a piece of fabric that’s too small.

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article). That way you can contact Support for that source if you have downloading problems or other issues. Thank you!
