Providence Quilt Block Pattern

Providence is a five-patch quilt block made from a combination of squares, half square triangle units and quarter square triangle units. Both of the triangle unit variations can be assembled using quick piecing methods.

The instructions assume you will use the easy sandwich method to make the triangle units. If you choose another method, cutting will differ. Choose a method that will yield units that finish at 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" -- or are an unfinished 3" x 3" square.

Finished block size: 12-1/2" x 12-1/2"

Providence Quilt Block Fabrics & Cutting

Two different green print background fabrics are shown. They are similar, but the fabric used in quarter square triangle units are slightly lighter in color value.

The deep purple (one is multicolor) fabrics blend, but look different visually. Midpoint squares are made from a paisley fabric that picks up some of the other colors in the block, but isn't as dark as the purple "star" tips.

Light green print for background: (4) 3-3/8" x 3-3/8" squares; (9) 3" x 3" squares

Lightest green print: (2) 3-3/4" x 3-3/4" squares

Deepest purple print: (2) 3-3/4" x 3-3/4" squares (for quarter square triangle units)

Purple/multicolor print: (4) 3-3/8" x 3-3/8" squares

Medium paisley print: (4) 3" x 3" squares
