This is a very easy block though I had to make it twice.
I cut the pieces the wrong size so when I finished the block and it was too small I worked out what the sizing should be.
But the sizing I worked out was wrong too! So when I finished the second block I had to trim it down to 5 in square. That’s why my corner squares a slightly smaller than need be and the centre square slightly larger.
I pieced this block.
Susan instructions call for:
- 4 pieces 1 5/8in x 1 5/8in
- 4 pieces 1 5/8in x 2 3/4in
- 1 piece 2 3/4in x 2 3/4in
My block has:
- 4 pieces 1 5/8in x 1 5/8in
- 4 pieces 1 5/8in x 2 3/4in
- 1 piece 3 1/8in square
With my sizing you’ll need to trim the block down to 5 inches, or about 1/8 in all around.
Where to get the Jane A. Stickle Quilt patterns
Susan Gatewood’s paper foundation . All patterns are free though Susan says “I only ask that you consider making a donation to the Bennington Museum, in Bennington, Vermont. And if you do, it would make me tremendously happy if you would tell them that you have received help from me.” I totally recommend Susan’s patterns as they are very easy to use.

See all blocks I’ve done together in a larger size.
Might the block end up the correct size if the square measured 3″?

I think the sizes given by Susan are the correct ones except that I missread them and cut the wrong size to start with. I should really remake this block.
