Free memory quilt pattern3/29/2024 Repeat this process to make 10 modified Scotch Blocks. Once you are happy with your layout sew block #1 to block #2.Īnd finally sew blocks #1 and #2 to blocks #3 and #4. To construct these blocks choose your pieces from four different prints and lay them out according to the map below. The modified Scotch blocks we are making today are constructed from one small square, one large square, and two rectangles and will look like the photo below: How to Construct a Modified Scotch Block: I chose to use my wool but that was a last second change. ONE MORE NOTE: You will have enough wool left over to cut enough 4″ x 4″ squares to put one of them on the corner of each of your modified Scotch Blocks instead of using the pieces from your fat quarters. NOTE: The photo is before the quilt top was pressed or squared up…so…go easy on the judgement…. 6 of them are wool, 9 of them are the 10″ squares you cut from your fat quarters, and the remaining 10 blocks are modified scotch blocks that I am going to show you how to build from your remaining fat quarter pieces but before we get to that let’s look at a photo of the quilt top laid out so you can see where you are going!

The prints reminded me of my grandpa and the second I saw them I knew that I was going to make him a lap quilt with them…which is exactly what I did. Not only were we able to give their new wool a whirl but we were able to choose a line of fabric to play with as well….and once I saw their Menswear line I knew that is exactly what I wanted to pair with that wool. The idea for this quilt began when we were invited to contribute to a blog tour that was celebrating the release of the new line of wool from Penny Rose Fabrics. Today we are excited to share with you a fun lap quilt pattern and tutorial.
