| Jacob's Ladder bee blocks |
The Jacob's Ladder quilt block is a timeless design, celebrated for its strong diagonal lines formed by the interplay of four-patch units and half-square triangles. This classic pattern offers versatility, making it a favorite among quilters seeking both tradition and adaptability.
In a recent project for the do. Good Stitches quilting bee, participants were tasked with creating Jacob's Ladder blocks using a combination of strong medium to dark colors paired with white fabric. This high-contrast approach enhances the visual impact of the quilt, highlighting the dynamic movement inherent in the Jacob's Ladder design.
The construction of these blocks involved efficient techniques such as strip piecing for the four-patch units, where long fabric strips are sewn together and then subcut to create pairs of squares. This method streamlines the assembly process, ensuring consistency and precision in the blocks.
This Jacob's Ladder Quilt Block designed by Generations-Quilt-Patterns, Quilted by Rachel Hauser of Stitched in Color, The Pattern is available for free.
