Two beautiful quilt blocks: Rambler and Swing in the centre

Rambler and swing in the centre quilt blocks

The Rambler quilt block is a classic design that has been popular in quilting for many years. Its origins are not well-documented, but it is believed to have been a popular pattern in the early 20th century. The block’s simple yet striking design has made it a versatile option for quilters of all skill levels, and it continues to be a beloved and popular choice among quilters today.

I stitched the block traditionally but it’s also typically assembled with foundation piecing.

The other block is Swing in the centre, another beautiful block easy to make.

Let’s learn both blocks in 6 minutes:
