Patterns Using Only Five-Inch Squares
I'm looking for patterns -layouts, I guess- that use only 5" squares -no triangles, etc., just 5" squares. Any suggestions?
Thanks for any suggestions, images, links, etc. |
Several easy things you can do....
1. Arrange then in a pleasing way and sew them together in rows. 2. Add some sashing between each block and make them an I Spy. 3. Add a neutral and make 4 patches or 9 patches and add sashing between them 4. Snowball the corners or two of the corners and sew together into squares and then add some sashing. 5. Make rows of your squares and then offset them into a brick pattern and sew together. |
Trip around the world comes to mind.

Disappearing 9 Patch is a great one for 5" charm squares.
|
Disappearing four patch is another one that's nice.
|
The Moda website has a lot of patterns for 5 inch squares!
|
there should be tons of patterns out in internet land on "nickel" quilts which is what the five inch charms used to be called.

This is one of my favorite ones. I make lots of these for donations quilts. One side of the charm is sewn with a 1 1/2 inch white and the other 2 1/2. This is a purchased pattern but I forget the name as I gave it away after making a few. It is imprinted in my head.

Check out MSQC with Jenny Doan. She makes many quilts with (charm packs) 5" squares.

I made a D9Patch. It was fun and came out great!
How could I forget Missouri Star?? That's a great place and her tutorials are fun. |
