Jewel Squares Quilt And Crazy Squares Runner Your Splash Of Creative

Glorious Patchwork Jewel Squares Quilt And Crazy Squares Runner Is Striking.

A scrap buster at it’s best. This brightly colored Jewel Squares quilt inspires your creative imagination and if you love color in your home, this quilt is the perfect project. With fun scrappy squares, different sizes that are seemingly randomly placed, you can take this Kaffe Fasset jewel squares from scraps to a master piece! This fun quilt will have your creative side spinning. With the random style design in this cute little quilt brightly colored scraps bring the jewel squares to life and will give anyone’s spirits a lift.

This paper pieced quilt will gobble up fabric scraps and create each happy square. The squares are therapeutic, and it’s very rewarding to see each block completed. The pattern is one of Kaffe Fassets designs and if you love color, the out of the box projects from this collection might become addictive. Square sizes range from 1 1/2″square to 9″square. Choose bright colors for an arty look, or monotones for a more subtle statement. While the finished top is delightful, the design could be changed in so many ways. Arrange squares creating length for a table topper or runner, a matching pillow, or even a border for a wall quilt.

This Jewel Squares in blue from Cassieblanca was hand quilted. The quilt is 100% cotton, and the border, fluffy minky! That’s quite unique. The finished size is about 40″ x 40″, crib size.

This striking Crayon Box quilt made by Nancy Lou Quilts, showcases the Jewel Squares quilt in bright fabrics.

The blocks are quite intense but the pattern is easy to follow and once you get going the pieced squares make up quite quickly.

The paper removes quite easily so don’t let the paper piecing method dampen your enthusiasm.

The paper template is numbered and in no time the pile of squares are ready to complete to make the top.

Use different widths for some of the fabric strips creating the random arty feel of these squares.

The backing of this colourful quilt done by pattern designer Shea Henderson of Empty Bobbin Sewing, is just delicious, just right to add bit of a signature finish.

The back of this jewel square has a little surprise.

The squares are so effective in these fun colors. I can see them used for a border of a wall quilt, or the edge of pillow covers to match the quilt.

The Jewel Squares pattern is taken from Kaffe Fassett’s Glorious Patchwork, an absolutely gorgeous 158 page book, from way back in September 1997, beautifully photographed, and showcases Kaffe Fassett’s outstanding fabrics and his one-of-a-kind quilting style. There are instructions for 25 beautiful quilts, with color pictures and good instructions for each project, including patchwork basics and templates.

Included in the collection is the well sought after Crazy Squares table runner, a perfect scrap buster, and will be a stunner in any fabric. Adjust the number of blocks to make the runner any size at all. Make a square topper or table mat with four squares by four squares. Since the design offers four different sizes of squares, any size squares can be used to make up one of a kind designs.
