Looking for a not-so-huge project? Try my 48-inch square Ohio Star quilt pattern, sewn from two quilt blocks. The primary block is Ohio Star, but you might not recognize it immediately. I’ve shifted the contrast a bit from the ‘traditional’ layout and placed the blocks on point. Four simple X-like blocks rest in the center of the quilt and link up with the Ohio Stars at block corners. You’ll find the pattern at my About.com Quilting website.

Easy Country Roads Quilt Block Pattern
June 8, 2013 By
Country Roads is a quilt block pattern you’ll find on my About.com Quilting site. It’s super easy — all straight-grain patches that are beginner friendly (but with enough layout variations to make the design interesting to quilters of all skill levels). Choose entirely different colors and colors values to change the design in any way that suits you, and go completely scrappy if you like.
Stitch a Batch of Wonky Log Cabin Quilt Blocks
June 4, 2013 By
Call them wonky or call them freehand, but not matter what they’re called these log cabin blocks are easy as can be to sew. No templates and no precise cutting… just grab a background and some strips of fabric and sew. Your blocks might look entirely different than mine, and that’s fine, the more unique the better. The log cabin blocks are sewn using simple string quilting techniques, and you’ll find the pattern at my About.com Quilting website.
