The Spool Block Gallery
There are only two patch shapes needed for this easy to piece
block, a square and a right triangle. Make this block with the 2" finished size
of both patches for an 8” finished block. This is a very common size to cut from
2 1/2” jelly rolls and also uses up small scraps.
If you want to use a
larger size for the square and right triangle, then your
finished block will
be bigger and require larger scraps. A chart showing how the patch sizes will
affect the finished quilt size is included in the pattern, ranging from using 1
to 6 inches finished for the square and triangle.
Along with the
instructions for cutting and piecing this block, there are full color quilt
charts showing the Spool block in several different quilt sizes. Make coasters,
mug rugs & potholders too! See how arranging the Spool block in different ways
can create a whole new look. Quilt charts are provided in color, but any quilt
could be done in lights and darks, regardless of color.
One page explains
my personal scrap theory, which I call FabScrapology.
Go completely Modern and just sort your fabrics by light,
dark and medium, without worrying about the colors!
