The name of this quilt block takes me right back to my Great Grandmother’s long white kitchen table and seeing her work around the kitchen with grace, a smile, feeding all who arrived at her door. This is my quilt block Corn and Bean’s quilt block pattern.

When sewing the pieces in a smaller quilt pieces, as this quilt pattern is. I do everything just as IF it was a regular size quilt block. I cut with a rotary cutter, sew on my sewing machine, and press. The ONLY thing different is I trim my 1/4 inch seam allowance for just about 1/8 of an inch and press. REMEMBER, to press with a hot iron, UP and DOWN, you do not want to stretch the cotton.

Summer Quilt Planning starts with a NEW Quilt Pattern. After you have the quilt pattern it’s all about the fabric. I always say, purchase ONLY what you LIKE, what you can afford and ALWAYS 100% cotton. “I” and I repeat, “I” like to wash, dry and iron my fabrics, BEFORE I start cutting them. This is MY Quilt, “PUT on Some RED Lipstick and Let’s Quilt”
When I purchase fabric and have NO idea what I will be making with it, I always purchase 2 to 3 yards. These red and white’s are all from my fabric closet and some are getting old, as long as the cotton is still tight, it’s just fine to work with.
Whenever possible I like to chain piece and this is the start of my piecing of squares.
Take a Moment and Stop Over and See my Quilt Ladies Quilt Pattern Shop, on Etsy. Etsy is 100% safe and always open. My quilt patterns are all reasonable priced, so all can afford them.
I know some places just can’t seem to get there YET, but I hope this little quilt pattern block helps. The finished quilt pattern flower is eight inches by eight inches, if you add the border it’s ten inches by ten inches. See my Quilt Pattern Shop
