How to Make a Crown Quilt Block
The latest block in my fast and easy quilt block series is an interesting one. It is also a bit trickier than the other ones that I have presented, so you will want to take a bit more time making it. Some really interesting secondary patterns appear when this block is repeated in a quilt. Learn how to make a crown quilt block in my new tutorial.
This block is a good scrap-buster, but it looks striking in just two colors. I’m thinking I might make a quilt in red and white using this block. I think it would look sharp.

How are you liking my new series? This is the sixth block I have presented and I am having a lot of fun with it. Because there is no speaking in the video it does not take as long for me to make and I don’t have to clean up me studio!
Tips
General quilting supplies are needed to make this block. A scant 1/4″ seam allowance is used.

Block Layout
Possible Layouts and Color Ideas
It is always fun trying out different colors and layouts with my Electric Quilt 8 software. These are all made with the same number of blocks. Look how different they all look.
With each block I play around and try to pick a favorite. It’s pretty hard for me to do.
