Quilt Pattern: Wrench

The wrench design is an authentic, old-time quilt pattern, and a very typical one, too. Simple to piece, adapted to the use of odd scraps, "dark and light," it still makes a charmingly conventional coverlet when carefully completed.

Patterns for parts do not allow for seams to make a 10-inch block. Blocks may be set into a quilt top either with alternate plain squares or lattice strips 2 inches wide plus seams.

If using print and white for the blocks, we suggest the lattice strip method using a plain tint for this which matches the print in color.

Material Estimate: Three yards plain pink, for instance, with 3 yards each of white and a pink print - 9 yards in all - would make a pretty, full-sized quilt.
