Here's another of those "method" patterns, as opposed to actual "block" patterns. It's final size will be determined by what you choose for individual unit sizes... |

** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block ** |
|
|
To sew this quilt, cut yourself a gazillion rectangles, in any consistent size that you like, and sew them together until each row is as long as you want your quilt. Make every fourth rectangle a dark print to match the strips you will use as sashing rows...suggested size...2- 1/2" x 4- 1/2" rectangles, but ANY size will work. Here I have one blue print, then three random strips, 1 (same) blue print then 3 more random ones, 1 same blue...etc etc. Keep going in that pattern... |
|
|
Make as many rows across as needed to give you the width of quilt you want. Sew strips of a dark print, the same width as your rectangle strips, between each row of pieced rectangles and along the bottom and right side of the quilt... |
|
|
Shown here are twelve rows of strips, with thirteen sashing strips...which, based on 2-1/2" x 4-1/2" strips would make about a 74" x 98" quilt! Happy Quilting All! Marcia :o) |
