A Strip-Piecing Project
Our original Square Puzzle 2 quilt top is designed specifically for the 3" square "label" prints. The pattern is made with a repeating 9" block built from squares and rectangles - making it a good quilt for beginners too! Like the log cabin pattern, the design can be altered by changing the block orientations. The pattern includes instructions for an alternate construction that allows you to rotate the blocks while keeping the fussy cut "label" center oriented to the same direction.
The 9" blocks are constructed using both piecing and strip piecing techniques, so putting the quilt top together is fast and fun! Our instructions guide you through cutting and sewing the strips, constructing the 10" blocks, and putting the quilt together. The pattern includes directions for six different sizes - from baby to king!
The pattern includes a 3-1/2" square template to make cutting out the label squares easier!

*The first quantity listed for the A-color is the estimated yardage needed if using a "label" fabric - the number in parenthesis is how many 3-inch blocks are needed for that size. The second quantity listed is the yardage needed if using a regular fabric that will be strip-pieced.
Pattern price: $8.00 each
We have put together a few matched fabric kits for our Square Puzzle 2 pattern, as shown below, using our 100% cotton novelty fabrics. The fabric kits are for a TWIN size and contain almost 7 yards of fabric - 1-1/2 yards of each of the four colors plus 3/4 yard of the label blocks. Some of the label blocks are also available to buy separately, without the matched kit - see below.

The following label blocks are available individually. Most of these label fabrics are sold in pre-cut pieces of six rows, which is approximately 23 inches and provides 60 label blocks. Each row, from selvage to selvage, contains ten label blocks. Some are still available on a bolt and so can be purchased in custom lengths, as indicated by the listing.
