Bonnie Scotsman Quilt Block & Quilt Pattern

Bonnie Scotsman is assembled with straight grain bars and squares -- no stretchy bias edges to deal with, and that means it's definitely a beginner-friendly patchwork quilt block. You'll find instructions for assembling it one patch at a time, which is perfect for scrappy quilts, and also a strip piecing option for anyone who wants to make a batch of identical blocks.

I've included two layout suggestions for 35 blocks (plus yardages), but many more arrangements are possible for this versatile design.
