Antique Lace

This is a nine-block pattern; each block is 24in finished. Jenny has added a 2in white border to float the triangles on the edges and faced the quilt for a sleek modern look.

While flipping through the internet looking for ideas for half-square triangles, Jenny found a block based on an antique quilt purchased on eBay by Jenny Doan of Missouri Star Quilt Company. She made her quilt with pre-cuts and named the block Antique Lace. By sorting the colours, circles of different colours are created across the quilt top.

Finished size: 190cm (75in) square

Finished block size: 24in
