Eustis Village Block

Using the Quilt as You Piece Method

This block is the 23rd quilt block tutorial in a series on how to make quilt blocks using the Quilt as You Piece Method. This one cannot be made completely in the Quilt as You Piece Method and templates are included just in case you need them. The pieces in this block are stitched together with a combination of traditional piecing and quilt as you piece. I have also included the numbers of the Accuquilt Dies I used in this block. I used the Accuquilt Qube 10" Block.

Materials Needed Makes one Block:
• Fabric:Follow the diagram for sizes and quantities, remember to make mirror pieces for the back side as you cut them out.
• Batting
  Do not cut the batting pieces the same as the fabric pieces.
  • Cut 1 piece of batting 5.5" x 5.5"
  • Cut 2 pcs 3"x6"
  • Cut 2 pcs 3"x11"
• Cotton Sewing thread in neutral color, 50wt preferred.
• Washable Liquid Glue
• Washable Glue Stick

Tools Needed
• Piece of card stock and a printer for the templates. The templates are in the PDF file.
• Double stick tape to put on the back side of your cut out templates
• Rotary Cutter & Cutting Mat
• Pair of Fabric Scissors
• Temporary Marking Device
• 18"x3" quilt ruler
• 10.5"x10.5" Square Ruler
• Dry Iron & Pressing Board

These are the tools I used. Use what you have.

Instructions

1. Print the Templates. If you are going to use the templates, print them out at 100%, Actual size. When done printing, measure the square on the page. Make sure it is 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" in size on the dashed line to make sure your templates printed out accurately.
2. If you have an Accuquilt cutting system, you can use the special diagram of the block on this page that has numbers starting with AQ on them. For example, the center square is AQ1 for Accuquilt Qube die number 1.
3. Use the quilt as you piece method to stitch the rectangles to the center square. Quilt this center strip if desired.
4. Use regular piecing techniques to stitch the top and bottom strips together making sure to press your seams going in opposite directions. Press the front resulting strip seams in one direction, press the back strip in the opposite direction to keep the strips as flat as possible. Press the seams in the corners towards the half square triangles.
5. Treat the strip you just pieced as a single piece of fabric. Join these top and bottom strips to the center strip using the Quilt as you Piece method taking care to line up your points.
6. Quilt the top and bottom strips as desired.
7. Trim to 10-1/2" x 10-1/2". Do stay stitching, an 1/8" in from the edges, all the way around.

Note: This block was designed with the use of the Accuquilt cutting system in mind so if you have one, and have the 10" Qube, you have all of the dies you will need for this block. Of course, if you know how the system works, you can use any size Qube to adjust your finished size of your block.

This pattern sheet just provides what materials you need and what size pieces you need to make a 10" block and in what order to sew the pieces of the block together. It does not go into complete detail how I put them together in the Quilt as You Piece manner, please refer to our tutorial of the Five Strip Rail Fence Block for the basic concept and instructions on how to do Quilt as You Piece for this block and all other blocks in this series.

Note about Accuquilt and Just Plain Fun: As of writing this block pattern, I am an affiliate with Accuquilt and I do have a referral link on every page of this site. I have applied to be an affiliate because their cutting system is amazing and I want everyone who quilts to experience the ease in cutting fabric for their quilts. If you click on a link and make a purchase at their website, I will get a small commission for your purchase which does not cost you anything more than what your purchase costs. I promise also to always make sure I include rotary cutting instructions and templates needed in my patterns since I know not everyone will have an Accuquilt system.

Block Name & Design Disclaimer: I do not know if this block exists anywhere else. If it does, I do not know the actual name for it. This one came out of my head. If you know the actual name of this block, I would not mind changing it and giving credit where credit is due.
