This makes any size block you would like it to be, and is another of those "method" things, rather than an actual block pattern :o) |

Please abide by the Terms and Conditions of use! :o) |
| In the late 1850's this was done with cross shaped units done with set-in seams. I've taken the struggle out of that in order to make it easier to piece! To accomplish this quilt, you need Graph Paper and colored pencils, as you will want to plan it all out ahead of time, hence the name...Planned Patchhood! :o) For each color in the quilt you will need one, four or five squares, all the same size... |
 |
Here's a quilt layout chart you can follow to draw up your own graph paper version. Darkened lines show where one "Block's worth" is. White squares on the edges will be a different color than those bordering it...If you would like to see the five different block arrangements within the quilt, click here!... |

Once you have done all the planning, start sewing the squares together in blocks as shown at left. This would be the upper left block. You may want to label the blocks as you complete them to make it easier assembling them into rows... |
