Patchwork Sampler

Make quilts. Use fabric. Have fun.

DWM: A Day in the Country

Last week I posted a picture of a scrap quilt I finished.  The blocks in that quilt are made from eight 2-1/2” x 4-1/2” bricks—half in one fabric and half in another.  The first time I made this quilt I used lots of cream, light beige, tans and browns so I called the quilt Half and Half.  There probably is another name for this block but I don’t know what it is so I’ve continued calling it Half and Half. 

I came across a fat quarter pack from a Fig Tree Quilts line called A Day in the Country and thought those fabrics would work well for this quilt so I made another one.  Since I didn’t have yardage of anything from this line I made an easy piano key border.  That worked out pretty well.  I used almost every thread of 16 fat quarters to make the top and it measures about 60” x 78”.  If you would like to make one of these, check back in a couple of days.  I’m writing the instructions now and will post them on Wednesday.

    Lovely quilts! I almost made one of these after seeing your last one. I knew I could figure out measurements that would make it work. But I got lazy and started something else. Now tho’, I’m so lucky, you will be giving use measurements. Tons of thanks! Toni
