03/22/2019 - These Midget Block patterns were copyrighted patterns presented for your personal use and enjoyment. Because of the unauthorized use, copying and distribution of these patterns by a quilt shop owner in the Netherlands, the links to the free patterns had to be removed. I apologize to all the honest quilters around the world who can no longer enjoy these patterns through a free digital download option.
Patterns for the Midget Block quilt are now available for purchase - HERE
I had the good fortune to acquire a unique Depression Era sampler quilt constructed of 187 little blocks with the name of each block embroidered in the sashing underneath it.
In researching this unusual quilt found in a basement canning cupboard in California, I've concluded that the maker was very frugal and rather than order the patterns offered in the newspaper each week, she simply hand pieced a little block from the illustration. The blocks are presented here in a 4 1/2" size which is slightly larger than the original 4" blocks from the antique quilt.
- The finished size of the Midget Blocks presented here is 4 1/2". I'll write the instructions based on the easiest way to construct the block.
- I'll post blocks on Mondays.
- If you want to make them in their original 4" size, you can order a complete set of the patterns in the Online Store by clicking on the following link - Week by Week Sampler Pattern.
- Blocks 1 - 50 have been retired. A pattern set of these 4 1/2" blocks can be purchased in the Online Store by clicking HERE.
