Is there a pattern for this design?
I realize that this quilt is a variation of a log cabin, at least I believe it to be. I'm challenged with charting on graph paper so I'm wondering if someone might know if there is a pattern for this quilt? I've searched via Google and Google pictures with no luck. https://weallsew.com/community/marys-quilt/

I agree. Looks like a half log cabin block. Don't know why they call it a half, it's really a quarter of a block.
If you assume that they used 2.5" strips, then you would start with a HST that finishes at 4" (cut squares at 5", draw diagonal line, sew on either side, cut then trim to 4.5"). then add 2 rounds of strips. Strips added to the dark side of the HST. Nice pattern! |

I have just finished the blocks that is almost the same pattern. It is called a 1/4 log cabin square. The only difference is the HST. I use a square. I like the HST. Maybe make that one too.

It is the same block just turned different ways. I drew it in EQ7 and found that the block is just rotated each time. I used a 6 inch block, which would be 1 1/2" finished logs. Layout, 6x8 = 48 blocks.
First border is 1/2" Second border is 1 1/2" Third is 4 inches. Final is binding at 1/2 inch. Final quilt size is 66"x77" |
Thank you again Barb. EQ is beyond me!

I believe Missouri Quilt company has an video on this one...

That is a beautiful pattern. I love this QB, I learn so much from you dear quilting friends. I learn something new every day. Thanks a million.

Thanks Barb! I can stare at something and just not "see" the basics until someone points it out! Thanks for the detail.
|
when I look at it, I see a combination of log cabin and trip around the world. it's really pretty. the link to MSQC has a downloadable pdf for the quilt
|
I like that pattern. Yet another one to go on my to-do list. *heavy sigh*
|
Really touching story about why the quiltmaker made the quilt. Hope her meeting went well.
Barb in Louisiana, great job grafting it. Sassylass, thanks for the MSQC link. |

I haven't been on the board for a couple of days and I see so many more replies for help in identifying the block! Barb you always are so generous with your time and the EQ that you have so much talent in creating visual patterns! Thank you so much!!!! I so appreciate the link to MSQ and the tutorial there. Again, many thanks to all.

Very pretty block and really special story to go with it.

Ok. My brain must have left me for some place better, because I can't get the math to come out to the final size of 66 x 77. If each section is 6" (6 1/2" unfinished) and it takes 4 to make a square, shouldn't the finish square equal 12 1/2" (12" finished)? So 6 sections (or 3 squares) across should equal 36 1/2"And even if I add in the borders , I still can't get close to the finished size. Could someone tell me where my math mistake is at or where my brain went? Thanks

6x12 inches =72 inches.

Oops! My bad. I made the blocks as 8 inch squares in EQ7. But, you don't make squares with this. A 6x8 quilt will give you a 61x77 if you use the finished borders I posted. (I can only say that I didn't read the EQ7 correctly. Hope I didn't mess anyone up. (I'm going to blame it on the vertigo and allergies I have.) First border is 1/2" Second border is 1 1/2" Third is 4 inches. Final is binding at 1/2 inch. Final quilt size is 61"x77" 6 x 8 48 x 64 .5 .5 1.5 1.5 4.0 4.0 MSQC made this border 5 inches so their finished quilt is 63x79 .5 .5 TOTAL 61x77 All borders have to be doubled. My apologies again. Good thing someone found the pdf from MQC. Edited to add: MSQC started at the center putting it together. You can enlarge this quilt easily. |
i was thinking the hst 6 inches, and then 12 inch blocks. OK.

Barb...genius! My brain has fried. Cool quilt.
