Fabric Requirements
2 different prints, I recommend a light and a dark one
Cutting
Cut from each
4 squares 1.5″ x 1.5″
4 strips 1.5″ x 2.5″
2 strips 1.5″ x 3.5″
Piecing the Block
Please, refer to the diagram below for the following steps.
Stitch 4 pieced squares to make a whole 6″ block, following the numbers 1 to 5.
Begin by sewing 2 different print 1.5″ squares (step 1–2). Add a dark 1.5″ x 2.5″ strip at the top (step 3). Sew a light 1.5″ x 2.5″ strip at the side (step 4). Sew another light 1.5″ x 3.5″ strip at the top (step 5). Voila, you’ve finished your first quarter. Make 4, carefully watching the placement of light and dark prints.
Stitch together 2 pieced squares to make 2 rows. Again, carefully check the orientation of those. Sew 2 rows together. That’s it!

I love this block.
thank you so much!
This is beautiful. How would you quilt this?
How much material would be needed for a king sized quilt?
sorry, can’t tell
Great block, thank you:-)
I like the looks of this block, also a great way to use up those tiny pieces, thank you
thank you, linda, you’re absolutely right. i’ve seen a whole quilt of it using only black and white prints, though, and it looked gorgeous!
How can I get pattern instructions for some of your other blocks?
that depends. they are mostly not my own creations but i could tell YOU where i got the patterns from
Thank you Heike, I would love to have the information on the blocks.

Can this awesome square be made larger?
I recommend to print it any size you like
Love your block …like all log cabin blocks.
It can easily be made into a larger size….;) Did you figure a block out yet? I always draw out on a piece of paper 1st. Then do the fabric step…..lol Happy Sewing 😉

Hullo, from down under, Australia. I have made a quilt top using the block pattern. I used calico and jade. The name of the block was called Broken Squares. I have yet to quilt it. It can also be made with scrap fabric and one colour to highlight the pattern. Anna Jones
Very very pretty. Great idea. Thanks
