Patriotic Diamond Chain / Buckeye Beauty Blocks

You saw our last State QOV block  - the little log cabin. Those quilts are going to be great!

Our next block drive block we will be doing is the Buckeye Beauty / Diamond Chain Block.

I have been taken over!!! I started one of these with some of my Plaid squares, and then we saw Cynthias similar block and then... I got to thinking... wouldn't it look great in Patriotics ....


So I dug into my trusty 5 inch square bin. I got a little wild hair - I wonder if I can piece enough blocks to make one in all Plaids????



I am digging it - and by using it as leader/enders on my other projects - look what I came up with so far!!

I'm loving it!!! 

You use all 5 inch squares - so easy - here is the tute:

What is the Over/Under on if I can piece a WHOLE quilt out of plaids? ( with a few eagles for good measure thrown in?)

Haha on the "over/under"! That's a pretty plaid version. Are you still working on your 2-person version of buckeye?

Who would have thought plaid could be so sophisticated?

I love these blocks in patriotic and plaids combined, and I'm confident you have enough for a whole quilt!
