I love to quilt! And sometimes Mr QuiltinAnnie helps with the design; figuring out the angles and measurements! This letterbox series will highlight a traditional quilt block or pattern beginning with the letter of the stamp found inside the cache. You will need to supply your own stamp pad.
Rob Peter to Pay Paul Block and Quilt
‘Rob Peter to Pay Paul’ is a classic traditional quilt block featuring curved seams. Typically the Rob Peter to Pay Paul block is considered a quilt block for experienced quilters, but this has changed with the AccuQuilt GO!® Fabric Cutter. Years ago, quilters would have to painstakingly cut out and pin each piece often losing accuracy and making the completion of a successful block challenging. The time to do this cutting can be very overwhelming. Fortunately, quilters who have acquired this modern gadget no longer have to worry about the accuracy of the cuts or the extensive time spent cutting.
The traditional Rob Peter to Pay Paul quilt has typically been a two-color quilt. Hand quilters often would show their talents in the centers of the blocks by stitching intricate designs.
The Rob Peter to Pay Paul block is a variation of the familiar Drunkard’s Path block.
