Desperate to find this pattern
 

I need this pattern to complete a President's challenge for our quilt guild but I am unable to find where I can purchase it. It is called Amish Quilt Houses I think! Any help will be greatly appreciated! I tried to post picture but failed miserably! LOL! So what else is new??!?

Couldn't you just use a standard 12" Schoolhouse block pattern (found free all over the Internet) and put in the 6" blocks of your choice instead of the usual pain square? It des not seem like you would need a pattern.

Have you tried drafting it yourself? It would be a lot of drafting, but the only part that looks tough to me is the bottom center feature block. They appear to be 12" blocks, so the door section would be a 6" square and the feature block would be 6" square. The tiny frame around each block might be .5". The roof would be a 12" by 3" strip with "flippy corners," and the chimneys would be pieced in a 1.5" strip, and the sky would be a 1.5" strip. The checkerboard sashing would be 2" wide. Then a .5" border, a 1" border, then a 6" border. Of course you have to add seam allowances to everything. Finished size would be 62 x 77 if my brain is still working.

That's a very cozy looking quilt. I can see why you like it. I hope you can get it made for your challenge.

beautiful quilt. Quite an undertaking

It is a pattern from Thimble Creek quilt shop called Japanese Inn, not an Amish pattern, maybe that's why you were having trouble locating it. The pattern is available on their website, but it does seem like it would be fairly straightforward to make your own if you only need one block.

This pattern is in a book of log cabin patterns. I don't have the book right now, a friend borrowed it. I don't remember the exact name of the book or who wrote it. Not much help I know.

Oh my goodness! You all are so wonderful. I had not thought of figuring it out and making without a pattern ~ that is exactly what I am going to do!

Darren you are a god send with your measurements! I h.ave already found 12 6" blocks for the barn quilts.

You all are the greatest ~ thanks again! (Can you tell that I am excited to get started??)

Better to draft the pattern out then pay $33.

I'm glad I could help. There are a few advantages to being a math nerd!

Yelp! Those Math and Plan G classes really come in handy when designing quilt blocks; especially when it can save a significant amount of money.

This pattern was done as a Block of the Month at Quilted Threads and they too still sell the pattern. Mine is almost done but my sashing which is made up of 1" finished squares was not right and I have pulled it all out- lol - or I would share a picture. It is a stunning quilt when done. Ours was done in all the Japanese Taupes ans is subtle but amazing.

Oh - just to add a note here - After the first month, I resorted to paper piecing the 6" block part as they were intricate and what I considered the "star of the show".

I agree that Piecing it is much better than $33!! Thanks for the info I never would have made it as math is not my strong subject!! Can't wait to get started! Thanks again everyone!!

sorry not familiar with pattern!

The pattern was featured in Quilt Mania a year or so ago. I think it was spread over at least 2 issues. It is a French magazine that cost about $15 for an English version. So $33 is not bad for the whole thing. Good luck with it. I've been planning to do it for a while now, but somehow life gets in the way.

I am so impressed! Justwannaquilt seem like you had the answer at the tip of your fingertips! I spend hours (ok maybe just 1 hour) looking for patterns or pics I need.

That is one beautiful quilt. The price for buying the pattern is expensive but not for what you get. If you design your own, you can use any 6" insert block you like; you can even use a different house pattern, although as a single block in a gift quilt, you may want to stick closely to the original. Whatever you decide, please share a photo of the completed block. From what I've seen so far, it will be stunning. Joyce in Delaware

check out Bee in My Bonnet. http://www.beeinmybonnetco.blogspot....-tutorial.html She has barn blocks, also look for the barn with the silo. I made 5 barn blocks and am going to do a red work tractor block for a wall hanging.

Am I reading this correctly? The pattern is $33.00. Why that price? OMG soon us folks that are not part of the 1% will be priced out of the hobby! Good luck with your project.
