30 Quilt Blocks in 30 Days - Blocks 20 and 21, Classic and Spot in a Quilt Top

I love combining quilt blocks for quilts

and 

blocks 20 and 21 

are great blocks to merge for a classic look.

Block #20

Classic

Size Unfinished: 10 1/2" x 10 1/2"

Finished Size: 10 x 10"

Cut 4 rectangles 3" x 51/2" - white

Cut 4 squares 3" x 3" - red

Cut 1 square 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" - red

Stitch them together as laid out with 1/4" seams.

Stitch the corner squares to the small side rectangles 

then stitch the top and bottom middle rectangles to the middle square.  

Next stitch the three columns together.

Block #21

Spot

Size Unfinished: 10 1/2" x 10 1/2"

Finished Size: 10 x 10"

Cut 2 rectangles 3" x 4 1/4" - white

Cut 1 square 3" x 3" - green

Cut 2 rectangles 4 1/4" x 10 1/2"

Stitch them together as laid out with 1/4" seams.

Stitch the small rectangles to the square 

then stitch the large top and bottom rectangles to the center unit.

Now put these blocks together and make a super colorful quilt.

I made this one with 15 of each block in Christmas colors from my boxes of scraps.
It finishes at 50" x 60" in a 5 block by 6 block grid.

It's the perfect size for a Christmas throw.
