Cracker Quilt Block Pattern
Each 6-inch (finished) Cracker quilt block is made with two fabrics. Use our fabric suggestions, or change them entirely to suit your needs.Choose a bright fabric for the focal area of the quilt block and surround it with a white-on-white or neutral.
Cutting for One Cracker Quilt Block
To make the cracker quilt block, three bars are sewn together to create a square center unit, and then triangles are added to each side of the bar group.One caution: the bars are cut 1-15/16" wide, halfway between the 1-7/8" and 2" lines on our rotary rulers. Estimating the distance should be fine, but we offer a few alternatives in the Cracker quilt pattern, a 60-block layout.
From bright fabric, cut:
- One 3-7/8" square
- Two 1-15/16" x 4-3/4" strips
From the white on white fabric, cut:
- One 3-7/8" square
- One 1-15/16" x 4-3/4" strip
