Oriental Themed Attic Windows Quilt Block

Sophie designed this oriental themed attic windows block for the August, 2007, Beginner Block Lotto. If you plan to participate, please read all of the rules associated with our Block Lotto event. Plan to take part in the discussion, because our Quilting Forum members always offer excellent ideas and advice to help you make your quilt blocks. Read the Official Block Lotto Posts

You only have to sew three seams to make this block; it's a perfect opportunity to practice fussy cutting and Sophie's (easy) mitered corners.

Attic Windows Block Finished Size: 7-1/2" square

Fabrics Required for Each Quilt Block

(1) Oriental themed print: 6-1/2" x 6-1/2", fussy-cut if necessary to isolate a motif

(1) Tone on tone print in a coordinating color: 2" x 8" bar

(1) Black solid or black-on-black print: 2" x 8" bar

The instructions illustrate the block in a a step-by-step manner for clarity; you might not need to print all pages, but if you do, you can conserve ink by using the "print this page" link in the upper right and printing only page 1 to 1.
