The Jane Stickle Quilt – Block C3

Wow….a Dear Jane block that involves traditional piecing—a rare beast indeed. I suppose I could have set this up to be paper pieced. But honestly, every once in a while I need a break from ripping paper. It doesn’t get more classic than this, a segmented nine-patch block. Iron to the dark side and nesting is a breeze. Because this is traditional piecing, the pattern cutting measurements are the exact size needed to make the 5″ block.

Note: Unit A and Unit B in the pattern are for the sashing. I chose to make 5-inch blocks like the original rather than sash 4½-inch blocks. If you prefer to add your sashing when your blocks are all finished, just eliminate the A and B units from my pattern. The center sections will then be 4½ inches finished in size and you can add your sashing later.

Here’s Row C so far….
