Quilt rectangle blocks

Please, someone, tell me that this block has a name! I have looked and looked and all I saw for a name for this block is “rectangle square.” Really? Is that what this block is called? We have half-square triangles, but are there no such things as half-square rectangles? Because, that is what this quilt is made of–a ton of half-square rectangles! I am finally getting rid of all of my scraps/stash that I have held onto for too long. This quilt was a fun way to do just that. started this quilt…

Well hello there! I know I've been sharing a lot of single blocks lately and I'm so happy to be able to share a finished quilt today. And there's a bonus - I've got a free PDF pattern to go along with it! This is Simple Bricks - a fat quarter friendly pattern that sews up quickly since there's no tricky piecing or seams that need to match up! The finished quilt measures 63" x 72" and needs just 11 fat quarters and just over a yard of background fabric. The fabric I used for this quilt is…

I recently had a request to post the sizes of the blocks for my Chunky Cut Christmas Quilt. (Marilyn, I'm sorry I have been unable to respond to you personally, but you are a no-reply blogger.) This quilt is quick and fun and a great way to bust some stash if you are feeling you need to liberate fabric from your shelves. It would be so good in many different fabrics, I think, so if you make one, be sure to share. I'm sorry I don't have time to fancy up my quilt sketch before publishing here…

This tutorial is for the 3 quilts with blocks made up of 2 rectangles. I don't cut rectangles though. I piece strips together. Cut your strips any width you want. I used 2.5" in one quilt, 3" in the next and this one is using 3.5". After piecing 2 strips together, measure the width. That is the size you will cut at. I have had several questions about what size I cut them. It has to be the same measurement as your sewn width or they won't be squares. Place the bottom edge of the first strip…

So, as promised, here is my very first tutorial ever! As I said in yesterday's post, it's really very quick and easy. Before we get down to business I'd like to clear up a few things. First, I came up with this idea one afternoon quite a while ago while trying to find something new to do with a layer cake. Is this an original idea? I can't say for sure that it is. There are probably similar ideas out there, I've just never seen or used them. This is simply my idea and how to do it. Second…
