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

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).
