Best Loved CHINESE BLOCK Quilt Pattern Flexible Plastic Template This is a 1993 Best Loved Quilt Pattern called "CHINESE BLOCK". The Chinese Block, which resembles other traditional patterns such as Broken Dishes, was first published in the Kansas City Star, a weekly journal for farmers and their wives, in 1938. The maker of the peach and white beauty show knows this pattern as Pine Burr. By whatever name it is called, this pattern produces a delicate chain effect when the blocks are set on point. The Double Happiness Pattern in the blue quilt is an ancient Chinese symbol often seen on rugs and decorative ceramics. It is especially appropriate when used on an item intended for a gift- it means " May you live a long life and gather many riches". Finished block size is 10" x 10", peach quilt is 71" x 85"; blue quilt is 54" x 54". Included is a new flexible plastic template and contains complete color photos and directions. This flexible plastic template is not made for rotary cutters. Each pattern is enclosed in a plastic sleeve so you can store your pattern template. NOTE!! These are PATTERNS only not the finished product nor the materials to complete the projects.
