Use This Oversized Block as a Mini or in a Larger Quilt
It’s Great in Many Color Combos and Fabric Styles!
This charming block is sized to stand alone as a mini quilt or to combine with others in larger projects. It’s a fairly simple block to make and one that will finish up quickly.
Choose a favorite color palette and enjoy the beautiful results. Also consider playing with value placements. The look of the block will change significantly as the lights, mediums and darks are moved around within the block.
We played a bit with Photoshop to see it in any colors. It will be great in whatever colors you choose.
The finished block, from Lori Holt, is 18″ square.
You’ll need to scroll down toward the end of that post to find the block tutorial. The first part of the article is about Lori’s new book, Farm Girl Vintage 2. It’s an idea-packed book with 45 unique 6” and 12” quilt blocks that can be used in many types of projects, including this sampler quilt.
Example of a Mix and Match quilt made from blocks in the book.
Patterns are also included for several sweet miniature quilts. They’re showcased on doll beds that Lori painted to match the quilts.
