Old Maids Puzzle Quilt Pattern

This Old Maids Puzzle four-square quilt block is really easier than it looks. Made with two, three, four or even five fabrics, this pattern is certainly versatile.

Made from squares and triangles, the pieces are stitched into four square sub-units that are then put together to make a four-square block. These sub-units can be pieced in a number of different manners to alter the main motif.


The quilt blocks can be put together to form a continuous pattern or can be interspersed with plain blocks for an entirely different look. Narrow banding can also be used to accent the blocks, or the entire quilt can be set on the diagonal.
