For the last few years, I have providing instructions each month for How-To make a different quilt block. There is no purpose to these blocks except to experiment, learn new things, and have some fun!
The following is another option of putting those blocks together. This option gives the block requirements for multiple quilt sizes with a 2 inch sashing and borders.
For these 12 inch finished size blocks, you will need the following:
Crib size - 3 x 4 = 12 total blocks
Twin size - 5 x 6 = 30 total blocks
Queen size - 7 x 7 = 49 total blocks
King size - 8 x 7 = 56 total blocks
Cutting and Piecing Requirements for the Sashing
Crib
A - 8 at 12 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches
B - 5 at 40 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches
C - 2 at 58 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches
Twin
A - 24 at 12 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches
B - 7 at 68 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches
C - 2 at 86 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches
Queen
A - 35 at 12 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches
B - 8 at 96 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches
C - 2 at 100 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches
King
A - 42 at 12 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches
B - 8 at 110 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches
C - 2 at 100 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches
Here is a sample layout for the crib size, but all sizes follow the same idea.
The A pieces are the small pieces between each block on the row.
The B pieces are the top and bottom borders and the sashing between each row.
The C pieces are the side borders.
Stitch each row of blocks and A pieces together. Press toward the sashing.
Stitch the rows to the B pieces. Press toward the B pieces.
Stitch on the C borders.
