Springtime Quilt Block 9 inch PDF

Description

Springtime (Beyer 90-12) is a wonderful old design to piece by hand or by machine. My preference is to use both hand and machine piecing in a hybrid. I machine piece to get a fast start and finish by hand when I need a portable project on the go or while we watch hockey on TV and wait for spring.

Printing the shapes on fabric with Inklingo makes it more precise, simple, and fast than using templates.

There are wonderful opportunities for fussy cutting some of the shapes.

Basic Shapes for Springtime 9 inch PLUS a bonus shape

This unusual design is a dream for machine or hand piecing, with or without the inset seams, as described in the instructions.

I have made MANY variations of it now. You may have seen some of them on Facebook.

Springtime 9-inch blocks without Inset Seams

The original Springtime block design has inset seams and that might have been a factor that kept this very pretty design from being more popular.

However, this shape collection makes it possible to eliminate the insets (above). On the other hand, Inklingo quilters know that inset seams are easier than ever before thanks to the stitching lines and crosshairs printed on the fabric.

I will add design ideas for Springtime quilt blocks in the coming weeks, so please stay tuned.

Love the lines. Quilt more!
