This quilt started as an experiment with fat quarters. I had seen a few similar quilts and wanted to give it a try.
This version uses 9 fat quarters. Three prints and 6 solids. The quilt finishes at 40″ x 48″. Each block has a center cut at 4-1/2″ x 4-1/2″, some plain squares, and some created as hourglass blocks made of two squares starting at 5-1/2″ x 5-1/2″. The outside of the blocks is two rectangles 2-1/2″ x 4-1/2″ and two rectangles 2-1/2″ x 8-1/2″.
It went together quickly and is finished and delivered to a neighbor as a spring surprise. She seemed very pleased.
I acknowledge that the instructions aren’t a lot to go by. Feel free to ask questions. Enjoy!
this is beautiful Deanna
this looks pretty easy, square in square
the fabrics are well placed and beautiful
What a lovely spring quilt – you used a great mix of colors.
The pattern would make a cute baby quilt, too.
I’m familiar with the pattern as “happy blocks”. It’s a charity quilt favorite.
Such a cheerful, pretty quilt! A thoughtful gift.
