About the pattern

Blackletter is a foundation paper piecing quilt pattern. It includes 26 individual lowercase letter blocks as well as a pattern for a 47” x 46” baby quilt. Each letter is 4" x 9.5" (with the exception of some of the wider letters).

Difficulty level: intermediate or confident beginner

Format: Printable PDF (instant download)

Number of pages: 33

FABRIC REQUIREMENTS

For the blocks:

  • Background, 1 1/2 yards
  • Foreground, 2/3 yard total scraps, or about 9 jelly roll strips. (For the letters in the pictured baby quilt I used 8 fat eighths, with fabric to spare.)

For the baby quilt, all of the above, plus:

  • Background, 1 1/4 yards
  • Backing, 3 yards
  • Binding, 3/8 of a yard

About me

Hi, I'm Stephanie

Hi, I'm Stephanie! I'm a quilter and pattern designer based in Ontario, Canada. If you have any questions at all about the pattern please check out the FAQs, below, or send me a message via my Etsy shop.

A:   47” x 46”

Q:   How big is each block?

A:   Each letter is 4" x 9.5" (with the exception of some of the wider letters).

I ... just discovered that you can post to Instagr I ... just discovered that you can post to Instagram from a desktop computer! My phone died about a week ago so I've been awol. It's like I travelled back in time to 1996 (okay, maybe 2006). TBH it's kind of amazing here and I think I'm going to see how long I can stay. I didn't think I spent that much time on my phone but I got more done in the past seven days than I did in the previous month or more! I may try to keep posting this way but if you don't see me around, I'm sitting in my backyard listening to the actual radio. xo πŸ‘©πŸ» #rsssummersewalong2022 #rsssummersewalong
