Since quilting was such a big part of the lives of Pioneer woman I have decided to post some free patterns for quilt blocks that have been around for a very long time- many of them back to Pioneer days.
I will try to post easy blocks so that it will be easier to get a quilt finished.
The first block is : Ohio Star.
Cutting Instructions:Cream... 4 squares 4 1/2" x 4 1/2"... 2 squares 5 1/4" x 5 1/4", cut twice diagonally to make quarter-square triangles - yield: 8Blue print... 1 square 4 1/2" x 4 1/2"Red... ... 2 squares 5 1/4" x 5 1/4", cut twice diagonally to make quarter-square triangles - yield: 8

Assembly Instructions:1. Referring to Diagram I, make 4 pieced-square sub units.
2. Referring to Assembly Diagram, sew pieced-squares to 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" cream and blue print squares. Sew rows together to make Ohio Star Block.

Oh honey, are ye trying to get me into trouble??? Because now I have the excuse that Deb at P&P wants me to make a quilt, so I really must go fabric shopping! Tee hee! I'll tell my husband it's not my fault, and refer him to your blog, okay???!!!
ReplyDeleteActually, Deb, could this be pieced from tiny pieces to make a doll-sized quilt, I wonder? I have enough material for that...hmmm...
Sure it can be a doll quilt- just make your squares smaller- and you can make the blocks different colors- the scrappier the better!
ReplyDeleteCan be a doll quilt- table runner- wall quilt- ot one block can be a pillow top= or a tote bag front!
If you do go fabric shopping I will gladly take the blame!!
