Read the posting disappearing 4 patch. It uses 5" squares, and it is really a pretty block.

You might want to look an one of Pat Speth's book like NIckel Quilts.

Ginnie 6, I would love a tutorial on the blocks you made!

I recently bought a package of five inch squares, sewed them into rows and made a charity quilt. It turned out the perfect size for someone in a wheelchair and our guild donates quilts to the Vetern's Hospital for those who don't have much of a family at Christmas time. Marylou

Again, great suggestions. I think I'll have to start one soon!

I did a quilt-as-you-go (gayg) baby quilt from some 5" sq
but I used equal number of white with them. Very easy.
they look like a triangle after and color placement not a concern. There are many choices for that size sq's.

I used mine in a quilt called "Bricks" You cut 2" off the 5" piece and these are used in the border. The 3" pieces are sashed in black tone on tone. Google the Bricks quilt pattern. It' really pretty.

favecrafts online has a nice quilt using charm squares called a charming quilt. i saw it made up in a quilt store with all christmas fabrics that were one of a kind charm squares. it is very simple but looks very nice. :)

I have a quilt book that uses the 5" blocks, called Nickel Quilts and there is another, name something like more Nickel Quilts. One day I am going to make one, they are scrappy and the 5" squares are cut, some squares, some triangles. I'm trying to make matchy, matchy quilts first, so I don't use off my large pieces of fabrics.

HI. I recommend the book"Nickel Quilts." It is old, but you'd be surprised at the variety of blocks included. There is a sequel to this book also. Have fun!
