Paths and Stiles
top completed 2024
90 by 81 inches
block finishes 9 inches
90 blocks set 9 across and 10 down

See block construction HERE.

Blocks are rotated every other block so all seams nest.
I pieced in pairs--2-block units--made 45 pairs

4-block units

Then set aside 9 pairs and with remaining 36 pairs, made 18 units of 4, pressing seams consistently with the previous pressing.

Lay out two rows of the 4-block units and one row of the 2 block units, making sure keeping columns consistent with either horizontal oriented unit on top or vertical oriented unit on top.


Sew into to rows
Press center row east, top and bottom rows west

Sew rows together
Press final rows up or down
Everything nests!

My design and directions using a traditional block.
Use at your pleasure.
