Here's an example of a scrappy Roman Square quilt. Thirty-five quilt blocks are sewn into horizontal rows. A quilt like this would measure 45" x 63" before borders are added.
Additional Block Sizes
It's easy to alter the size of the Roman Square quilt block -- simply change the dimensions of its bars.
- Cut 2-1/2" x 6-1/2" bars for a 12" x 12" (finished) quilt block; for strip pieced blocks, cut 2-1/2" wide strips from selvage to selvage and cut (7) 6-1/2" long segments from resulting strip sets.
- Cut 1-1/2" x 3-1/2" bars for a 6" x 6" (finished) quilt block; for strip pieced blocks, cut 1-1/2" wide strips from selvage to selvage and then cut (14) 3-1/2" long segments from resulting strip sets.
