Turn a Traditional Block Into a Charming Runner

The Block Can Be Used in Quilts and More!
The Dutchman’s Puzzle quilt block is a dynamic block with lots of movement. It’s comprised of spinning Flying Geese units and works beautifully in many types of projects.
Four blocks separated by triangles make a lovely runner. While this one was designed for fall, it will be beautiful in colors and fabrics for any season.
Extra blocks can be made into trivets to round out your table decor. Or use them as potholders and pretty accents for the kitchen. Just add a layer of Insul-Bright batting for heat-proofing.
Designer Amy Smart from Diary of a Quilter has created an excellent tutorial for the block and runner. Measurements for the projects are:
- Table Runner – 11.5″ x 34.5″
- Dutchman’s Puzzle quilt block – 8″ x 8″
