Sizing Blocks for the Quilt
The size of the blocks in the antique quilt appear to be around 12" x 12". I started with the finished size of the quilt ( 63" x 84") and backed into these numbers.
However the block is actually easier to draft at 18" x 18". Then each of those tiny squares in the nine patches in the corners has a finished size of 1". In a 12" quilt, the finished size of the 9 patch squares will be .667". This is something that would be super easy to do with templates. Not so much for rotary cutting. The beauty of using Electric Quilt is we get to decide the size we want to use for the quilt. it could easily be 9", 12" or 18". Or something else. Whatever you prefer. Fabric Selection
See how to design the block and quilt in my video tutorial.
Here is the block and quilt from the video.
I look forward to seeing what you do with this block along with what layout you decide to use for your quilt.
