King's Crown Quilts and FREE Pattern

As you may know, I have published several Block a Day calendars - 15, to be exact (yes, that's right!). One of them is my perpetual calendar published by Martingale. That means that it can be used year after year (no day assigned; just a number). Here is the block for today, February 15: King's Crown. This real block was sewn by Patricia of Australia.

King's Crown Block: 16"

 I have made several quilts using this traditional block. Allow me to share them with you!

The first one I made was in 2007 and published in Quilt Magazine. I used a collection of Asian inspired fabrics. There are four blocks in this quilt and a fun triangle inner border which creates a secondary design.

The second was made using some Kaffe Fassett Fabrics and was the basis for a workshop back in 2005. Four 16" blocks with the placement of the pink and dot fabrics creating another secondary design.

Then I created one in 12" blocks for Blank Fabrics back in 2008. This is the FREE pattern. You can see the single block at the top.

King's Crown: 54" x 54"

You can find my Block a Day calendar in my Etsy shop with 366 blocks in TWO sizes and 12 quilt patterns. It's a CD and I would mail it to you - free shipping, too!

You can put these King's Crown block to block or add the sashing as shown in the FREE pattern. Enjoy!
