keyhole

My friend Donna made a lovely quilt with Cherrywoood solids using a larger version of this block. I shamelessly ran with the idea, drafting down the block a bit, and am adding it to the solids on prints quilt ideas pile.
I love any block with the robbing-peter-to-pay-paul fabric placement and like how it is similar to the unit blocks one, but with a rectangle finish.

Block finishes 6 by 12 inches

Solid: one 6 1/2 by 2 1/2 rectangle, three 4 1/2 by 2 1/2 rectangles
Print: one 6 1/2 by 2 1/2 rectangle, three 4 1/2 by 2 1/2 rectangles
Sew the sets of three 4 1/2 inch rectangles and press to the solids, then sew together
Sew on the end 6 1/2 inch rectangles
Press whole block to the side with the solid rectangle

We are a few weeks away from moving and I have been kitting up projects for the transition time between homes.
