BLOCKS by SIZE 10" Quilt Blocks

What could be easier, math-wise, than a quilt block in a 10 inch size? Surprisingly, the 10" block is not the most commonly used size, (that would be the 12" block), but there are still many quilt blocks that fit into this category and here is my list of currently available patterns.

Joseph's Coat

Sample Quilt Layouts

The Joseph's Coat quilt block is designed with the story from the Bible in mind -- that being that Joseph wore a coat of many colours. If ever there was a quilt block that demanded to be made as a scrappy block, this is it.

The two sample quilt layouts shown below are very different. The quilt layout on the left uses an on point setting of the block, with sashing strips in the same colour as the background to make the blocks appear to "float". Additional blank blocks offer up more chances to use lots of extra colour. The quilt layout on the right is a standard side by side setting of the blocks which offers a dazzling arrangement of the scraps in the quilt -- much as the original coat likely featured.
