Free Pattern: Four Knaves and Kansas Beauty
Vintage blocks are the basis of much of my work. We featured them all the time when I was with Quilt Magazine. They have so much character and I'm sure you'll agree as you see them in a few different fabric collections. These were done for Blank Fabrics in 2009 and I taught these in a workshop around that time, too!
Four Knaves is the pieced block; Kansas Beauty is the appliqué block. My students were supplied with kits to make these 3 block runners. The Sweet Roses Collection also came in pinks. I found a similar set of fabrics for my students.
And also in browns. These are digital images, but the fabrics really are awesome!
I designed a full size quilt for Blank using these two blocks. Here are the two colorways that the FREE pattern has. First the blue.
Sweet Roses: 70" x 84". 12" blocks |
Now the pink:

Click the links for the FREE PATTERN. It's 70" x 84". Make a few blocks; make them all. Check it out!
I am fascinated by how different the Knaves block looks in the different fabrics.
