Bonnie Scotsman Quilt Block & Quilt Pattern

Bonnie Scotsman is a patchwork quilt block that has been called other names, so don't be surprised if you see it labeled differently. Its patches are all straight-sided -- no triangles whatsoever, making the block an excellent choice for beginning quilters.

This version of the Bonnie Scotsman block finishes at 10" square. I've included two options for assembling the quilt block -- patch-by-patch or by strip piecing its components. One patch at a time is a good assembly choice for scrap quilts, but even strip-pieced blocks can be constructed in a scrappy way.

On pages 4 and 5 you'll find two of the many layout options for Bonnie Scotsman quilt blocks.
