Quilt Pattern Block of the Week – My State of IOWA

I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to share my home State of Iowa. I was born, raised, went to school, married and had our babies here. I love it…in the summer. The state gave me a lot, from a wonderful childhood to schools, to an understanding of family and time. But, home in Florida now.

The finished quilt block is fourteen inches by fourteen inches.

I have formatted the quilt pattern on a sheet. These patterns are kicking me in the time they take to post with all the images, fingers crossed this works ! Beth

Make a Quilt Block Pattern using ONLY Squares with Beth Ann

When new to quilting I always say, “It’s only a square.” Start with a quilt block using Squares. Don’t over think it, it’s a square. Here is my how to link for making squares, using freezer paper, I never think purchasing a cutting mat, ruler and rotary cutter in the first thing you need to purchase for quilting. Have a working sewing machine, good sewing thread and the best 100% cotton fabric you can afford. AND ALWAYS ASK AROUND, friends will loan you a sewing machine, most will help with threading it, teaching you to sew a straight line, it can become an adventure

I cut 3 colors of fabric for ONE Nine Patch quilt block you will NEED,
