YEAR’S FAVOURITE, 3″ Dark

For those of you who find the January block too easy, here’s an alternative: Year’s Favourite, from Farm Journal and Farmer’s Wife, 1945. Give it a go!

THREE STRIPS, 3″ Dark

Happy New Year! I’m so excited about this challenge, and this year. Lots of sweet little blocks are coming your way!

A very simple block to start. I don’t want to scare the beginners! We will be manipulating smaller and smaller pieces of fabric; so, to get you into the right mood, let’s start by getting acquainted with 1½” strips. Here’s your first block:

[245x232]

[589x172]

[597x211]

If you think such a simple block is of little use, look what this quilter cooked up:

EASY H, 3″ Dark

[показать]

I’ve always called this block The H Block, but I am mistaken. The original Letter H is the block illustrated (left) below. Barbara Brackman dates this block to at least 1985 from an advertisement by quilt block mail order company Ladies Art Company.

It is also the base unit for a quilt called 4 H, that Jinny Beyer references as first published in 1940 by the Kansas City Star on January 24. The 4 H Block is illustrated (right) below. It might be a fun one to make later …

Judy Anne Breeamen identifies the block as Red Cross, reporting that it was published in Modern Pricilla in 1917 to be used in fund-raising efforts for the war. This block was a red cross appliqued to white background, though the article included a suggestion to piece the block to save fabric. We’ll definitely follow that suggestion, today. You’re forgiven for making it in colours other than red and white!

FOUR STRIPS, 3″ Dark
Would I be predictable if I told you today’s block is called four strips?

I’m gradually introducing you to smaller pieces. Today we start to play with 1¼” strips.

TWO-BY-TWO, 3″ Dark

Two-by-Two is the name given to this block by my EQ7. I can find no other naming reference

LONDON STAIRS, 3″ Dark

London Stairs was given its name in 1934 in the Kansas City Star. Jinny Beyer reports that Nancy Cabot published the same block a few moths later in the Chicago Tribune as Endless Stairs. We’ll call it London Stairs … just because I love old London town.
