Scrap Happy Sampler Quilt Pattern

By Janet Wickell, About.com Guide

Here's the Scrap Happy Sampler block number 9 -- the Lost Ship quilt block pattern. Scrap it up or stitch the block in a more orderly way, the choice is yours. Making Lost Ship offers a good opportunity to practice your half square triangle construction skills.

Lost Ship is very similar to the block used in the Rocky Glen quilt, but has fewer half-square triangles in its units. Like nearly every other quilt block out there, it's been configured in slightly different ways over the years and renamed several times.
