Swamp Angel Quilt Block Pattern
Swamp Angel is the fifth quilt block pattern for the Scrap Happy Sampler Quilt, another scrap-friendly layout that lets you incorporate a variety of fabrics into your quilt.Finished block size: 12" x 12"
The cutting instructions are for a Swamp Angel quilt block similar to my example. Change fabrics and color value in any way you like. Notice that my fabrics don't "match," and they aren't a combination I'd choose for a structured quilt. But I plan to repeat some block fabrics throughout the scrappy sampler, helping tie the blocks together.
Teal floral or small scale paisley: for block center (1) 4-1/2" x 4-1/2" square
Deep green mottled: for quarter square triangle units (2) 5-1/4" x 5-1/4" squares
Light multi-gold print w/red: for quarter square triangle units (2) 5-1/4" x 5-1/4" squares
Blue print for half square triangle units at block corners: (2) 4-7/8" x 4-7/8" squares
Gold print for half square triangle units at block corners: (2) 4-7/8" x 4-7/8" squares
I used a combination of cool and warm colors, and the warms help fabrics pop out a bit. If you use all cools or all warms, choose light, medium and dark fabrics to achieve contrast.
