If you are looking for a scrap quilt pattern that is versatile, good looking, beginner friendly, group friendly, quick and just plain FUN, you have found it: Welcome Home Quilt Block.
Yes, all of these are Welcome Home Blocks!
As long as the pieces match up, it does not matter what order you assemble them–traditional log cabin, court house steps, random–they all look good.

From a variety of scraps, cut…
2 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″ squares
2 2-1/2″x4-1/2″ strips
2 2-1/2″ x 6-1/2″ strips
2 2-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ strips
1 2-1/2″ x 10-1/2″ strip

Thank you soooo much for the pattern for your welcome home quilt. I can’t wait to make one of my own!
Thank you for sharing a great looking pattern. My 2 1/2″ strips are overflowing in their basket. Your quilt looks great.
Thank you for the pattern. I will put this in my Wedding Dress Blue folder.
I have been buying Batiks for just that
That works out perfectly for some strips a friend sent recently. Another American Hero quilt in the making! Thanks!
Oh my gosh! I just realized these are 2.5″ strips! Fortunately, I didn’t hit my head when I fainted! LOL
Thanks for such a cute scrappy pattern, my favorite kind!!
