BLOCK GUIDE TO QUILTS
We have created this chart as a reference only. These are measurements based on “average” quilt sizes, you can make your
quilt whatever size you prefer, just be sure to account for block size variance and seam allowance.
We suggest test sewing a few blocks together for a more accurate measurement. Take your desired finish quilt size and divide
by your finished block measurement. Then, round up this number to the closest whole number. This will give you the number
of blocks you need to achieve your desired finished size. These measurements were taken after the blocks were embroidered
and sewn together using a 1/2” seam allowance.
Example: 45”/7.375” = 6.1 or 6 Blocks
6 columns by 6 rows will result in a ~ 45” x 45” crib quilt.
*This measurement does not include borders, sashing or bindings. These measurements are for the square blocks. If you would
like to use the rectangles or diamonds, you will need to reconfigure the numbers.
