Make one, or make a whole quilt. The blocks are 10″ (10 1/2″ with seam allowance), traditionally pieced. It’s a peaceful, easy to make block and I hope very much that you enjoy it as much as I have! I’m planning to make a couple of these blocks per week, in between all of the other crazy things I’m working on. This pattern is dedicated to Jennifer Rowles for her accidental reminder on Talk to Me Tuesday that some really special fabrics were waiting for a little love! I’m not in any way taking credit for reinventing the wheel, but I do hope you find these simple instructions useful and maybe even inspiring! Remember to use the reverse stitch at the beginning and end. Starting from about 1/4 inch from the top, sew along the edge with a 1/2 inch seam allowance ending from about 1/4 inch from the bottom. Now, I obviously didn’t invent patchwork quilts. Starting with the long sides, pin the border to the edge of the quilt leaving at least 3 inches extra on each end. You’ll get a continuous checkerboard pattern when the two different blocks are used together. Sweet Reflections is a traditionally pieced quilt made from two simple blocks. Instead of picking all those pieces apart, I cut them, as they were, into 2 1/2″ pieces. My own 2 1/2″ patches are a bit lumpy bumpy, because at some point in the past, long before I was a quilter, I sewed the fabrics together in irregular chunks, with the idea of eventually making a quilt. She’d cut the fabric scraps from flour sacks and worn out clothing into 2 1/2″ patches (with a template and scissors!) and those would go in a cardboard box to make nine patches (above).Īfter Grannie passed away, I inherited the treasure box full of nine patches, eventually making the quilt you see here. This was SO long ago, I wasn’t even a quilter yet. Years and years ago, I put aside a box of fabrics I’d made from my kid’s clothing to eventually make a quilt.
