Revisiting My Gretchen Quilt

I must like this pattern, as I've made this several times. I have a whole lot of blocks from teaching it a dozen times last year! Now to put them together.

I have fixed the links to the pattern. Many thanks to those who alerted me!

Here is my first one:

Gretchen quilt in black and red prints

Then I received a bundle of fabrics from Red Rooster and made this one:

Gretchen Quilt in happy colors

Then I made some sample blocks for my recent workshops. I used some of my precious shwe shwe cloth from my Africa days 40 years ago. Yikes! What took me so long to cut into these?

Blue indigo prints from Africa make up four Gretchen Blocks

 And I had just a handful of the reds:

4 Red Gretchen Blocks

I love shot cottons mixed with Kaffe Fassett prints and I made these this morning (yes, I get up early). What do you think?

First, realize that there are NO TEMPLATES. You are only working with two sizes of squares and a magical way with your rotary cutter!

Gretchen Block 1

 And some lavender:

Gretchen Block 2

 Gold:

Gretchen Block 3

And greens:

Gretchen Block 4

Putting them all together:

Four Gretchen Blocks

The blocks are 9" and the quilts as shown above are 58" x 58". I think I'll piece until I run out of fabric (silly girl! When will THAT ever happen?)

You can find the pattern for my Gretchen Quilt at my Etsy store. This is a real scrap buster, too!
