Arranging Your Quilt Blocks

Country Roads Quilt

Block Layout Possibilities

You can sew all of your block halves together now if you like, or work with them individually as you design the quilt. When you sew blocks together, you'll find little triangular tips at the ends of each seam. Just clip them off.

The Country Roads quilt above is another example of a split nine patch quilt, but was made with Civil War era fabrics and assembled using a different layout.
