Dutchman’s Puzzle Variation Quilt

Ira Blount · 1999

This quilt is composed of twelve blocks arranged on a three by four grid with sashing and cornerstones. Each block has a Dutchman’s Puzzle pattern made of solid dark blue, solid off-white, and a calico print cloth. The piecing is hand-quilted just inside of every half-square triangle seam with blue or black thread on the blue fabric and white thread on the off-white fabric. The sashing is quilted in a connecting diamond pattern. The cornerstones are quilted with an “X.”
