Making my Arrow Crown Block

February 09, 2012 2 Comments

Hello I have been busy making my Arrow Crown Block. It has been so much fun, being able to choose and use the lovely fabrics in my own stash. I have taken photos of my construction process for you, so you can see how this lovely block goes together. The first step is to lay your block out in the order you would like. This helps with knowing where all your pieces go when you are sewing. I usually have this laid out by my machine as I am sewing. Then I divide the block into sections, in this case I find the sections that will make this into a nine patch block. This is the first section that I sewed together. These are the flying geese sections in the center of the block.

I sewed all four of these sections together. The next sections I sewed together were the half square triangle sections.

These sewn together form this unit. There are four of these units. Next section to sew were the 1/2 square triangle units.

These sections create the four corners of the block. Then you need to sew your sections together as you would a nine patch block.

I would love to share with you the Adelicia Sampler as a Twelve part block of the month. Along the way I will be posting each month, all that I learnt while making the blocks. (I love how much this quilt has taught me) There are many of my favourite blocks included in the sampler, some you will recognize from my past quilt patterns. I will also post information of selecting the fabrics I have used, this is a great quilt to have you delving into your stash and finding all those reds you have tucked away.

Vintage Nine Patch Quilt

October 29, 2021

The inspiration for this quilt came from a small picture of part of an antique quilt, made with the nine patch block. I think what inspired me was the use of colour and of course the wonderful use of the flying geese blocks in the border.
I hope you enjoy my pictures of this quilt.
