MIQ233 BQ3 Pattern

Yes, the long awaited sequel to BQ and BQ2. We’ve changed it up a little with the addition of a slightly angled 2 color side segment and a corner stone to set it off. The same things you liked about the other BQ’s is still true… large 18” blocks with a 12” center and also the half size blocks – 9”. There are 6 complete quilts: 4 quilt sizes for the 18” blocks and 2 quilts with the 9” blocks – perfect for crib and toddler sized quilts.

18” or 9” blocks and 6 quilts: wall 40” x 40”, large lap 54” x 72”, twin 72” x 90”, queen 90” x 108” in the 18” block and 32” x 41”, 41” x 50” in the 9” block size.

BQ DoubleTime

Put a BQ frame around the top and another around the bottom for BQ DoubleTime. Choose something special for the center and frame it with dark, light and accent. Optional inner border (shown on the larger) is included for both sizes. The smaller size is fat quarter friendly. We used the center of a panel for the center of the larger table runner.

We like Pellon Fusible Fleece 987F or Fusible Thermolam Plus TP971F as the batting on table runners because it is so thin.  18” x 27” or 18” x 44”.
