King's Crown This was a block I was going to use for my 2008 Sampler, but for some reason I changed my mind. Anyway, I've decided to share the pattern with any way. Maybe you will have a quilt for it. For the King's Crown block you will need:       For the corners cut four 3 1/2 inch squares (purple)       For your flying geese cut four 6 1/2 by 3 1/2 (bright pink)       For the background cut eight 3 1/2 inch squares and one 6 1/2 inch square (light pink) To make your job a little easier, draw a diagonal line through all of your background squares on the wrong side. Lay a background square right sides together with a hot pink rectangle, with the diagonal line running as shown here. Sew right on that diagonal line. Trim off the excess, leaving a 1/4 inch seam allowance. Press to the pink. Repeat this same step again with another background square on the other side of this same unit. Press to the pink. Make sure your rectangles still measure 3 1/2 by 6 1/2. This is called a flying geese unit. Now you can assemble your King's Crown block. Put two 3 1/2 inch squares on the ends of two of your flying geese units. Pay attention to the way your flying geese are pointed. You'll turn one over when you put the block together.       Next put two flying geese on two opposite sides of the 6 1/2 inch square. Finally you can put it all together into a 12 1/2 inch block.
