"Jennifer" Quilt Pattern, a.k.a Cajun Hopscotch :)
Pam P. demonstrated how this quilt goes together. SOOO much simpler than how I thought.
This is the quilt that 24blocks.com posted on their facebook page, and said "From our reader, Becky."
Here's the one block Pam P. showed us that makes this quilt. It's made of half-square triangles. See it?...
Here is the one block...
Like I said earlier, we've got those half-square triangles licked; click here for how to make them quick and easy. Basically, for this one, you're going to make a million of them that are half white and half colorful scraps. Maybe a bazillion; depends. Then sew them together like the block above.
From there you could sew four together to make bigger blocks and so on, or you could sew them together in rows. I'm still trying to decide which way I would be least likely to screw something up.
One more look at the whole thing...
Thanks Becky, Pam, and 24Blocks! Can't wait to make my own!
PS...Several readers listed the book that the Jennifer quilt pattern is in, "3 Times the Charm". It's available on Amazon. (I bought it just now; looks like it has a bunch of sweet quick ones).
PPS...They named all their quilts girl's names. I like names like Drunkards Path and Arkansas Crossroads. A Google search shows plenty of people making this particular half square triangle quilt but nobody seems to know a traditional name for it. How 'bout Cajun Hopscotch. Why Cajun, because I have a friend named Cajun Ray. And it sounds cool. And the quilt is kind of hard to understand at first.
