Quilt Concert 2022: Block 7

July 22, 2022

We are making the final cornerstone block this week! This block embraces the use of strip piecing and half square triangles.

Week 8 Instructions

The final corner of the Quilt Concert 2022 medallion quilt is block number 1851.5 in Barbara Brackman’s Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns. The original block is unnamed, so we decided to call our version City Square.

Who doesn’t love a gift card?! We are thrilled to have Hancock’s of Paducah as our sponsor this week! I look forward to shopping there during the Paducah quilt show each year, and their online shopping is just as extensive. One lucky winner will receive a $50 gift card to spend on their favorite fabrics, notions, and anything else that strikes their fancy at the shop!
