Quilt Shot Block #61 ~ Iowa from Splendid Sampler

Iowa 

12½ inch

by Sherri McConnell

 

I didn't follow recommendations for using different fabrics as the designer directed.

I also converted measurements for the pattern's 6 inch block to make a 12 inch block

to go with the rest of my sampler blocks.

*********

To make this 12 ½ inch block you need:

Background- 8 squares- 3½ x 3½ in

Solid- 2 rectangles- 3½ x 12½ in

Print 1- 2 rectangles- 3½ x 6½ in

Print 2- 2 rectangles- 3½ x 6½ in

Meanwhile the name of this block sounded familiar to me.

In doing a search I found these:

Traditional 50 State Quilt Block Swap- scroll down to see the "Iowa" block.

Jinny Beyer- scroll down to #62  "Iowa Star" (yep, not Iowa)
