There is nothing difficult or 'special' about making this block.
Just sew your two chosen fabrics together in strips and use a right angle ruler to cut the shapes from the strips. You can make the block any size you want to just by moving the point of the triangle ruler and altering the size of the strips. Jan in VA |
Jan, you are just too smart! I have that new strip clubbing ruler and can make this.

This might help. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BBgk...eature=related Also Missouri Star quilt co has something similar, I think they use 3 different fabrics... same concept. Now I have more on my to-do list *SIGH* so many projects so little time.

Great pattern! I think it'd look nice with the Stonehenge line of fabrics.

Helene Knotts Patterns are all still in print. She is my friend and teacher. She has a one person show at Latimer Quilt and Textile Museum In Tillamook, Oregon. I just bought the MAGIC SQUARES yesterday at the show. I can tell you that it is not made the way Jan suggested, although it is a great suggestion. For about $9 the pattern is yours and you can make many versions of the quilt. This particular quilt pattern has never been offered as a free pattern.

Check you-tube. I have seen a tut on there.

Not sure it is exactly the same version, but Missouri Star has a tutorial. Of course you can cut your own fabric rather than using precuts.

I purchased my pattern for Magic Squares. It is a small price to pay for the time and effort that goes into producing a pattern. The fabric quantities is given for two quilt sizes and the cutting layout for the pattern is quite detailed to achieve the 3-D effect.
QuiltE, I agree that the Stonehenge fabrics would be perfect for this quilt. |
Is there a relatively close source for this pattern (I live in Aberdeen, WA). Found it online but they want as much to ship almost as the cost of the pattern.
