The Echinacea Quilt Block is one of my most versatile designs. I wanted to create a coneflower block that looked beautiful on its own but could also be repeated into a full quilt without getting boring, and the key to that is all the built-in customization. The cone, the petals, the leaf placement, the background, every element can be changed from block to block, so even a quilt with 20 identical blocks feels varied and alive.
About the Pattern
The finished block measures 12 inches by 18 inches and is traditionally pieced using half-square triangles and scant 1/4-inch seams. The pattern includes printable petal templates, a full cut list, fabric amounts, and detailed sewing instructions with multiple diagrams showing every customization option. Make one block for a mini quilt or wall hanging, a few for a table runner, or go all out with 20 blocks for a 60x72 inch throw quilt.
