Build a Block: Road to Arkansas

This block lends well to leader/ ender construction methods. It is beautiful in its old fashioned graphic nature. The illusion of diagonal movement makes this a great scrappy block.

This block was not inspired by the EQ5 book!

It is an excellent scrap buster. Do not be intimidated by all the pieces that make up this beauty. I constructed 3 of these blocks as leader/ Enders between the blocks in my weather quilt.

This is the 8 1/2 inch version:

The four 4 patches and 4 x 4 patch are made from 1 1/2 inch blocks.

The eight hatchet units are made from light 2 1/2 inch squares with 2 of the corners ( opposite one another) snowballed to create the shape.

The video presentation for block assembly is here.


I love the way two or more of these blocks look together!

I think I will make a center for a quilt using this block. I love the illusion of movement that it creates!

Here is the cutting chart:

Hope you enjoy this scrappy happiness!

Later,
