    Default Quilt Patterns with Multiple Sized Blocks

    I am thinking about making a quilt for a Christmas gift. I am wanting to make a quilt with multiple sized blocks in it and I am wondering if anyone has some pattern recommendations? I am hoping for a queen sized quilt and I don’t mind buying the pattern if I like it. Thanks!

    Look up Designs by SarahJ. She has a few that use different size blocks.

    Also, Google "Random Ohio Stars" Quiltville blog. This one is a free tutorial, easily expanded.

    I recently saw one in a magazine by Kaffe Fasset. done with striped fabrics. small, medium and large blocks. all strips going around a center square. very interesting. no pattern though, just photo in British magazine from a few years ago. i want to make one.

    Thank you for the responses so far. I really like the Pat Sloan Solstice pattern. It's only 86" square, but that could easily bump up with borders.

    I made a t-shirt quilt with different size blocks. The idea is to do multiples of some dimension and then add the 1/2" seam allowance. Mine had 4.5", 8.5", and 12.5" blocks, and once they're all made they can fit together very nicely. Putting them together is like solving a puzzle.

    I have this pattern begging to be done. Would love to see it in different colours.

    Jen Kingwell has a lot of patterns that use multiple size blocks - and we have a forum on her patterns on the "challenge" section of the board.
