This week, I present the Carrie Nation quilt block, also included in the Nancy Martin’s 365 Quilt Blocks A Year Perpetual Calendar.

The Carrie Nation block is drawn with a 4 x 4 grid.
Using EQ7, here the blocks are in a straight set (set squarely side-by-side):
With sashing separating each block:
What if we turned blocks:
There are lots of variations that can happen when turning the blocks; I’ve only shown one.
And then there is the on point setting:
And turning the blocks:
This simple little block is so versatile; it is a great one to choose for quick and easy projects, baby quilts, modern quilts and more!

So do I judy. I’m hoping to show quilters the difference between setting a block side-by-side, and calling it good, and trying some alternate settings with just a few small changes. We don’t have to be fancy and artsy to achieve something wonderful with a traditional block.

Laura,
A woman after my own heart!
Directional blocks like Carrie Nation can be twisted and turned every which way, and some of those ways will create wonderful designs as you have shown.
