Building Blocks Quilt Pattern (FREE PDF PATTERN!)

Every Friday night our family tries to do “movie night.” Although it is getting harder the older everyone gets, we still try to make it a tradition to have pizza, treats and a favorite family movie….and sometimes a huge sleepover in the basement. I love that it’s a good way to unwind from the week and when everything is dark and still I love to peek around and find everyone cuddled in a homemade quilt, snuggled warm and cozy. I finished this quilt a while ago to add to our “family movie night” quilt pile and the boys love it. I think that it is one of new favorites.

While I was making it I took a few pictures and make a pdf printable pattern so you could make one too!

Building Blocks Quilt Pattern Materials:

1/4-1/2  yard of 9-10 different fabrics

1 yard of sashing fabric

3/4 yard for quilt binding

4 yards for backing (or less if you’d like to piece a scrappy back)

The finished Building Blocks Quilt Pattern  (with sashings) is approximately  64 by 64 inches big so it is a great sized cuddle quilt.

The quilt itself is made up from two types of blocks—a nine patch which is a basic quilting block and then is offset with another bigger block to make is a simple quilt to make.

And one more of the this boy that I adore…he is getting so big so fast and I just want to freeze him right now. The other day he starts yelling from the back of the car, “MOM, oh my, MOM, oh my….MOM I really, really did lose a tooth!” (He’s been bluffing loosing a tooth for a few months now.  “You did?” I said, “Let me see.”  And as he holds out his hand he has what appears to be a very yellow tooth in his hand…..but neither he or I could figure out where he lost it from.  When we stop I go to the back seat and find him with an orange….turns out it wasn’t a tooth at all but an orange seed.  And we laughed and giggled the whole way home—and that is the reason I love 5 year olds.

Happy quilting!
