Not really to bedeck the brow of some real king, but to make a quaint old-
fashioned coverlet the purpose of the King's Crown quilt block.
Very simple to piece are these two dissimilar triangles, which, when placed
together, make an interesting design square. Grouped for a quilt top they form
a more intricate pattern if the position of every other one is reversed, than
when set together in the usual checkerboard plan with alternate plain white
squares. Size of the King's Crown block is ten inches if seams are allowed in
addition to the cutting patterns.
Set together diagonally, with alternate plain white squares, five blocks wide,
six blocks long and with a three-inch border all around, this quilt will finish
about 76x90 inches. There are 30 pieced blocks, 20 plain blocks, 18 plain half
blocks, cut diagonally, and 4 plain fourth blocks for the corners.
Material Estimate: It requires 1/2 yard red, 1 3/4 yards gold,
and 6 1/2 yards of white to make up this quilt top, or a total of 8 3/4 yards. A
Horn of Plenty or Feather Circle would be interesting on the plain blocks.
