Periwinkle patterns are my favorite. Missouri Star has plenty of them, and I love them all. They have the vintage one, the mini version, the periwinkle plates, and this stretched periwinkle quilt. All of the designs are lovely and definitely worth making. This pattern is just like the periwinkle quilt, but the points are just stretched out and you will be using a different template to make this project.

This is one of the easiest quilt patterns you can make at home. The steps are very simple and easy to understand. All you need to do is cut the shape using the template, sew two rectangles on the sides, and trim it into a square. Make three more pieces and sew them together like a four-patch. Once done, you have the block. How easy is that? Do not worry about the excess, as Jenny Doan has a table runner project idea for the leftover pieces.

How to Make Stretched Periwinkle Quilt
Step 1:
Get a few dark 10″ print squares and stack them together. Lay the ruler and cut.
Step 2:
Cut 5″ x 13″ rectangles from your background fabric.
Step 3:
Get two pieces of the background rectangles and sew on both long sides of the periwinkle. Make sure to match them up.
Step 4:
Get a 10″ ruler and line it up onto your periwinkle. Cut into a 10″ square and you have your block. You need four of this block.
Sew four pieces together like a four patch to make the giant block.
You will make 3 rows with 3 blocks each.
For the table runner:
Sew the leftover pieces of the background to the leftover printed squares, lining the long sides together. Press it open. Repeat with the remaining pieces. Cut into a a 9″ x 4″ rectangles.
Sew two pieces together on the short side. Arrange them just like in the photo below.
