The Jean Stickle Quilt – Block G1

Surprisingly, this is the first block I’ve run across where Jane makes use of quarter-square triangle blocks. I chose to go the easy route of appliqué rather than curved piecing for this one. But the pattern does contain curved templates for those who prefer to do so.

My first step was to create two quarter-square triangle (QST) blocks from the foundation templates. I reserved one block for the background. From the other, I cut the clover shape using the appliqué template.

Then I appliquéd the clover shape onto the background QST 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.
