BQ DoubleTime
Put a BQ frame around the top and another around the bottom for BQ DoubleTime. Choose something special for the center and frame it with dark, light and accent. Optional inner border (shown on the larger) is included for both sizes. The smaller size is fat quarter friendly. We used the center of a panel for the center of the larger table runner.
We like Pellon Fusible Fleece 987F or Fusible Thermolam Plus TP971F as the batting on table runners because it is so thin. 18” x 27” or 18” x 44”.
BQ6
Big off center focus set off by bracket frames. 4 quilt sizes in 18" blocks. Looks great with one center fabric or many. Rotate the block for different looks as shown on the 12 block lap size cover projects.
Create a scrappy project using the bonus block diagrams and an assortment of fabrics for each segment of the block; 18 or 9 blocks.
Bonus layout using 6 blocks is at the Ideas button above; #10. Turn 6 blocks into a 64 x 84 project.
A reminder that to fussy cut the centers will usually require more fabric that listed. Quilts: 36" x 36" wall, 36" x 54" small lap, 54" x 72" generous lap and 90" x 108" queen.
Cool Corners
A border pattern with paper pieced corners that add a dramatic look to any center 16 ½” -20 ½” x 20 ½”. Use special fabric or part of a panel for the center. 3 border versions and 2 sizes of each version. Projects finish 28”-32” x 32”. Bonus placemat instructions 13 ½” x 19 ½”. Table mat and runner ideas.
Paper piecing experience assumed. Consumer draws the foundation; see supply list.
Scooch Over 1
Split the framed center and scooch it over to showcase the centers. The two sizes of frames keep your eyes moving throughout the quilt. You can build the quilt with one center fabric or many. 1 FQ will make 2 centers; it is easy to raid your collection. If you need a quick baby quilt for a gift, this is for you!
3 projects and a bonus lap size project that uses only one Block 1.
Crib 36” x 48” (cover), Large Lap 54” x 72” (cover) and Queen 90” x 96”. Blocks are 12” x 18” and we have included directional fabric tips.
Scooch Over 2
The centers are split but now there are bold columns with a shifting focus! One block, 12” x 18” creates the fun. Use FQs for these multi fabric projects: 2 centers from each FQ for the larger projects.
3 projects: Crib 36” x 48”, Large Lap 54” x 72” (cover) and Queen 90” x 96”.
The bonus projects are a mini version of the block, 6” x 9” and those centers can be cut from the leftovers of the large blocks or your scrap bag or F8s or other precuts.
Wall 31” x 40” or a crib sized project 40” x 52”. Directional fabric tips included.
BQ5
Big off center focus with a pinwheel or accent splash. The pinwheels are a flat top diagonal which doesn’t require matching of sharp points. Use one center fabric or many.
The pattern includes 2 block sizes, 18” with a 12” center or 13.5” with a 9” center, perfect for pre-cuts.
There are 3 quilts in each block size. 18” block: 36” x 36”, 54” x 72”, 90” x 108”.
13.5” block: 27” x 40.5”, 40.5” x 54” black/white on cover, 54” x 67.5” black/bright on cover.
Two very different layout options as seen on the cover.
: ) Wobble
A quilt with movement in many directions. The large centers going diagonally down, the small squares moving diagonally up and the partial frames making a right angle. Cut the 8 ½” centers from fat quarters, quarter yards, precuts or fabrics from your collection. The framed squares are easy to build with strip sets.
The fun is arranging the color flow.
The pattern has 4 quilt sizes and makes a 14” block.
Lap (on cover) 48” x 62” has a border, other quilt sizes are borderless. Twin (cover) 70” x 98”, Queen 98” x 98” and King 112” x 112”. The framed squares are easy to build with strip sets. The fun is arranging the color flow.
In-Step
Underline favorite fabrics and colors in these graphic projects. Multiple FQ centers or yardage. 2 block sizes, 5 quilts. Mini blocks: 2 sizes, 36” x 40” (cover) and 36” x 52”. 2 centers from each FQ for full size blocks, 4 centers from each FQ for mini blocks.
Lap (cover) 45” x 69”, twin 72” x 87”, queen 99” x 105”.
Sidelines
Create never ending sidelines around rectangles and squares. Easy for all skill levels but complex, graphic and bold. The 4 Sidelines blocks will create many different looks. Make it mini with half size blocks. Learn to do a partial seam with the tutorial included. Use yardage or FQ’s for the centers. Wall and lap quilts and crib size with mini blocks.
Inversion
Simple piecing with strip sets, rotation of the blocks, a bold accent and a border on 2 sides make this quilt fun to do and really fun to look at. The 12” block uses a 9” center, big enough to showcase something special and also could be cut from a pre-cut 10” square. The pattern also has optional yardage for those than need the border on all 4 sides!
The pattern has 4 sizes, wall-36” x 36”, lap-48” x 60” (shown on the cover of the pattern), twin-66” x 90” and queen - 90” x 102”.

BQ3
Yes, the long awaited sequel to BQ and BQ2. We’ve changed it up a little with the addition of a slightly angled 2 color side segment and a corner stone to set it off. The same things you liked about the other BQ’s is still true… large 18” blocks with a 12” center and also the half size blocks – 9”. There are 6 complete quilts: 4 quilt sizes for the 18” blocks and 2 quilts with the 9” blocks – perfect for crib and toddler sized quilts.
18” or 9” blocks and 6 quilts: wall 40” x 40”, large lap 54” x 72”, twin 72” x 90”, queen 90” x 108” in the 18” block and 32” x 41”, 41” x 50” in the 9” block size.
BQ4
Another big quilt for large print fun. We’ve changed it up by mixing squares and rectangles. Blocks are 12” x 12” and 12” x 24”. Centers are off center of course. You can cut 2, 3, or 4 centers from each Fat Quarter or use the same fabric for all blocks. The pattern has the fabric requirements for both yardage and FQ’s. Pattern includes two layouts and five quilt sizes – wall/crib to queen.
