E-Z Quilt

 

Our first Five Patch Block! The E-Z Quilt block is a really easy and beautiful block. I couldn't find any representation of the block in an actual quilt, so I made some demos.

CUTTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE E-Z QUILT BLOCK

Your color and fabric choices while making the E-Z quilt block are very important to the actual final visual effect of the quilt.

Always remember FINISHED SIZE means the size it will be in a completed quilt. The measurements given already have the ¼ inch allowance included.

*SQ = Square/Squares
*Center cross = darker fabric rectangles

Finished Block Size	Cut 4 sq (Dark) & 5 sq (Light)	Cut 4 rectangles (darker fabric)	Cut 4 sq (Dark & Light)
5 inches	1.5 inches	1.5 x 2.5 inches	1-7/8 inches
10 inches	2.5 inches	2.5 x 4.5 inches	2-7/8 inches
15 inches	3.5 inches	3.5 x 6.5 inches	3-7/8 inches

Block Variations

The E-Z Quilt block variations are almost identical, but in our reference book (#REFERENCE: Maggie Malone “5500 Quilt Blocks Designs”), it appears as a different block, because of the center cross.

The Butterfly at the Crossroads quilt block appears in the Farmer's Wife quilt series and there is a post about it here.
