This Double Four Patch design is the second quilt block pattern for
March. Stitched in focal fabrics of pink, rose and orange, it's
sure to be an attention-getter. The block finishes at 8" square,
and is simple to assemble. It's also the design we're using for
this month's Block Party event in the Quilting Forum. Double Four

Double Nine Patch Quilt Block Pattern
This colorful version of the Double Nine Patch quilt block is
assembled using a slightly different color value layout in the
small corner nine patches than is typical of the traditional
design. The block finishes at 11-1/4" square, and can be assembled
quickly by strip piecing (most) rows. © Janet

Five Patch Chain Quilt Block Pattern
Five Patch Chain is another block that can be used to create
dramatic diagonal movement on the face of your quilt. All pieces
are cut along the straight grain -- no stretchy bias edges means
it's super easy to assemble. The quilt block finishes at 10"
square, and I've included a layout example showing 18 Five Patch
Chains alternated with Snowballs. ©Janet Wickell Five

Dutchman's Puzzle Quilt Block Pattern
Dutchman's Puzzle is an all-time favorite traditional quilt block.
I'm showing an example of a quilt here, rather than the block
itself, because this pattern's color value arrangement is split
vertically, and deviates from the norm, with a dark background in
one half of the block and a light background in the other. The
pattern walks you through the construction of two quilt blocks, and
although they have the same components, they're sewn together in
different ways. Make 35 blocks to assemble a strippy-set quilt like
this example (the pattern include...
Bonnie Scotsman Quilt Block & Quilt Pattern
Bonnie Scotsman is assembled with straight grain bars and squares
-- no stretchy bias edges to deal with, and that means it's
definitely a beginner-friendly patchwork quilt block. You'll find
instructions for assembling it one patch at a time, which is
perfect for scrappy quilts, and also a strip piecing option for
anyone who wants to make a batch of identical blocks. I've included
two layout suggestions for 35 blocks (plus yardages), but many more
arrangements are possible for this versatile design. Bonnie
Scotsman finishes at 10-inches square.Bonnie Scotsman Quilt Block

January Block Party: Endless Stairs
The Block Party is a monthly Quilting Forum event. It's a bit
different from a regular quilting swap, where you exchange blocks
with other quilters on a one-by-one basis. Instead, every block you
make goes into a pool, and at the end of the month winners are
drawn (at least one, but hopefully more if there are enough
blocks). Each block you make counts as one entry for the drawing --
make five and your name goes "in the hat" five times (five chances
to be chosen). You'll find guidelines in a couple of places. In the
pattern and in the Forum discussion. Taking part in the for...
