::Scrappalicious Double-Trouble Quilt::

June 5, 2013 By Katie

Double Trouble Quilt/SewkatiedidThanks to Sandie the Double-Trouble quilt is quilted and hopefully bound with Kei Dots (also Sandie’s suggestion) by the time I hit the Gig Harbor Guild tomorrow for a lecture on Quilting Modern.

You know I’ve got a thing for triangles right?

swirling medallion quilt/sewkatiedid

The double-trouble block originated from a quilt we designed for Quilting Modern called Swirling Medallion.

sewkatiedid/double trouble

This quilt went through some morphs before ending here with the triple diamonds.  Here’s just examples of what you can do with this block.

I have a bunch of leftovers that I’m hoping will make it into something soon.

Looking at these photos makes me so happy to have a large grey design wall now.

Happy Tuesday!

    A really fun scrappy block with so many fun layout options. Do you think it would work as a monochrome quilt? I’m thinking green….

    I find the “blocks on point” really striking! Not surprised you favour the “radiating diamond” though, it’s so you!

        I hope you are ok with imitations ! I am trying the scrapalicious Double Trouble block and my favorite layout is your off-center diamond. Barbara in MA.

    Hi! Any chance you’ll be doing a tutorial or selling the pattern for the block? I love it 🙂

      Hi Marion,

      Block instructions are in our book Quilting Modern. You’ll find it under the quilt Swirling Medallion. Happy sewing!

    OK I’m feeling super stupid here. I love the 3 diamond quilt. BUT I don’t see how the Swirling Medallion pattern makes the 3 diamond quilt. What am I missing here? Am I too elderly to understand? thanks

    • sewkatiedid says

      August 12, 2013 at 3:17 pm

      Hope you got my email. Just start creating rows as if you were creating the diamond and when you are happy with the size of the diamond flip the row so that it points in the opposite direction.

    Thank you for this! I loved the block and just finished my own mini-quilt based on it: http://foxflat.wordpress.com/2014/11/06/the-mini-quilt/
