Composed of simple Four-Patch units and triangle-squares,
the Prairie Queen block works up quickly.

PRETTY IN PINK
The softer ivory
background and light
pink prints form a plus-
sign design through the
middle of the block.
Fabrics are from the
Buffalo Flats collection
by Violet Craft for
Robert Kaufman Fabrics
(robertkaufman.com).
FEELING SHEEPISH
Fussy-cut sheep are
framed by red prints
that mimic the look
of a Churn Dash
block. Fabrics are
from the Farm Charm
collection by Gingiber
for Moda Fabrics
(modafabrics.com). The red prints against the low-
volume background emphasize
the Churn Dash shapes.
Dark blue squares draw the eye
to the center of each block,
while the alternating colors in
the Four-Patches add motion.
A secondary Square-in-a-Square
design appears where the darker
pink and yellow print triangle-
squares touch between blocks.
CLASSIC
CONFIGURATION
In the traditional block
layout, the colors in the
Four-Patch units match
those in the triangle-
squares. Fabrics are from
the Fluidity collection by
PDR, LLC for P&B Textiles
(pbtex.com).
