Sampler Quilt 2011 - Week 16 - Starflower

The Starflower block is a traditional block and we'll be using half square triangles to make it. It uses 3 fabrics, background and accent fabric plus another coordinating fabric.

Sampler Quilt 2011 - Week 15 - Bird of Paradise

The Bird of Paradise uses four patches and what I call a Square Goose block also known as "Peaky and Spike". We will be using background and accent fabric plus 1 additional coordinating fabric for this block. Cut out templates below adding a ¼ inch seam allowance on all sides to use in cutting fabric.

Sampler Quilt 2011 - Week 14 - Nine Patch

The nine patch block can be made with any combination of 2 to 9 different fabrics. In this version we'll be using 3 fabrics: background, accent and 1 complimentary fabric.

Sampler Quilt 2011 - Week 13 - Four Patch

This Four Patch block uses 4 different fabrics, background, accent, plus 2 more complimentary fabrics. A four patch can use any combination from 1 to 4 fabrics.

Sampler Quilt 2011 - Week 12 - Ohio Star

The Ohio Star block is made from squares and quarter square triangle units. There is more than one way to make quarter square triangles, however, in order to use the strips as efficiently as possible, I'm using the companion angle ruler to cut triangles from strips. You'll be using the background and accent fabrics.
