Lead the Way Free Quilt Pattern by Natalie Crabtree
Lead the Way uses sixteen copies of one block to create four different quilt layouts. Half-square triangles, flying geese and corner units form the block, while changes in rotation create the Stacked Blocks, Four Quadrant, Geometric Block and Southwest Vibe arrangements. Each option uses a four-by-four grid and finishes at 48 inches square. This intermediate project features Artisan Cotton fabrics and gives the fabric requirements for one quilt, allowing you to choose a layout before joining the blocks.
