This Sailboats quilt is made up of fifteen 8-inch patchwork quilt blocks sewn into horizontal rows and separated by sashing and cornerstones. The example uses the same fabrics throughout, but you'll find that a scrappy layout works wonderfully.

This Rail Fence is strip pieced using five side-by-side strips of fabric. When you cut the segments apart, you're finished. That's it. You might spend more time deciding which fabrics to use than you will actually piecing the quilt top. Do sew with an accurate 1/4" seam allowance and press carefully to avoid stretch.

Broken Dishes is a traditional patchwork quilt block made entirely with half-square triangle units. The blocks in this quilt finish at 6? square, a nice small scale for a baby quilt or wallhanging. Overall, the quilt measures 36-1/2" x 42-1/2".

The Whirlpools baby quilt goes together pretty quickly, and might come in handy if you need a last minute holiday project. The quilt is made with one traditional block sewn in two different colorways. Blocks are assembled entirely with quick pieced flying geese units, but using two different methods.

The Framed Nine Patch Quilt is made from easy nine patch blocks that are surrounded by frames -- dark bars on opposite sides and light bars on the two remaining sides. Adjoining blocks are flip-flopped when sewn into horizontal rows, and the change of orientation that creates a somewhat stairstep-like appearance.

I've included instructions for two sizes, a bed quilt made with 10" square blocks and a baby quilt made with 5" square blocks.

Here's a baby quilt pattern that measures about 38" x 45". Made with 6" square blocks, it's pretty simple to construct. Sashing and cornerstones separate the scrappy blocks, which are sewn in brightly colored, warm patchwork set on a dark brown background. Simply change the color scheme if you'd like to give the quilt a different appearance.

Vintage Orchards is an easy baby quilt pattern that's made with one simple block, but in two color variations. When alternated in the quilt, the blocks join together to create a secondary pattern with a subtle on-point look. You can change the quilt's theme entirely and still get the same overall look by focusing on color value, and not color itself.
