BLOCKS by SIZE 9" Quilt Blocks

Spools

Sample Quilt Layouts

The Spools quilt block is an old favourite among quilters. It is an ideal choice to use up any scraps you might have -- particularly striped fabrics. (The stripes represent the threads wound around the spools.)

The quilt layout featured below on the left sets the blocks side by side and forms a bit of a geometic design.

The quilt layout illustrated on the right uses a diagonal placement of the blocks and introduces many more scraps as the side setting triangles along the outer edges of the pieced quilt, prior to adding the borders.
