Ozark Trail - Quilt Block Pattern

Stitch up a hiking trail in beautiful colors with this free Ozark Trail quilt block pattern. The jagged and rocky outline of trails in the Ozarks inspired name of the quilt design pictured here “The Ozark Trail.”

This is a pattern that dates back to the Early American quilt making period.



Those who have attended needlework exhibits at fairs have no doubt seen some of these Early American quilts exhibited. For a "Prize Winning" quilt, design is most important. The selection and combination of materials and colors, the skill of the needleworker and artistic quilting all go to make the quilt a thing of beauty. These are the things which cause the throngs of quilt fans to stop and gaze with exclamations of ahs! and ohs!
