Wishing Ring Quilt Block Pattern

Wishing Ring is a patchwork quilt block that's made up of squares and half-square triangle units. You can arrange your fabrics in an orderly layout, like you see in this quilt block, or go scrappy by selecting fabrics based on their value, rather than "matching" them within the block.

Finished quilt block size: 10" x 10"

Quilt Block Materials & Cutting

Deepest blue print: (2) 2-1/2" x 10-1/2" strips
  • OR: (8) 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" squares

Dark green: (or other color for center) (1) 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" square

Sky blue print: (4) 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" squares; (4) 2-7/8" x 2-7/8" squares (shown here as two fabrics, but can be the same)

Multicolor print w/blue background: (1) 2-1/2" x 10-1/2" strip; (4) 2-7/8" x 2-7/8" squares

  • OR: replace the 2-1/2" x 10-1/2" strip with (4) 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" squares
