The Jane Stickle Quilt – Block I7

Block I7 is a combination of foundation piecing and appliqué. This is another one of those blocks where my rendition differs with other renditions, including the drawing in the Dear Jane book. As I studied this block, I noticed that Jane made the corner triangles smaller than the adjoining triangle, and I think it was definitely by design. Her affect created a diamond in a square with contrasting appliquéd corners for the cross strips…so cool.

Note: Unit A and Unit B in the pattern are for the sashing. I chose to make 5-inch blocks like the original rather than sash 4½-inch blocks. If you prefer to add your sashing when your blocks are all finished, just eliminate the A and B units from my pattern. The center sections will then be 4½ inches finished in size and you can add your sashing later.
