The Jane Stickle Quilt – Block G4

My Block G4 is different from the drawn rendition in the Dear Jane book. When I look at the block’s image on Page 67 and as well as the back cover of the book, I see a definite final diamond in a square with a background outer border. So that’s how I designed it. As a result, five foundation templates are required instead of just one. But I think it’s a much closer rendition of Jane’s block than Brenda’s drawing in the book.

This is not a difficult block to complete but it is a time consuming one because of the many seams. I loved the crisp and pretty look when it was done!

PDF pattern: Jane Stickle - G4

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.
