Key Lime Pie Block of the Month #6 | Quilt Sew-Along (2023)

Debbie Shore's quilt block this month is a classic patchwork star design.

This month's quilt block is named Key Lime Pie. It features three triangle units, which are made with the Split Quarter Square Triangle technique – you may remember this from our very first Block of the Month Quilt back in 2019!

Split quarter square triangles are a natural next step once you've mastered half square triangles. The split quarter square unit is made up of two halves: one half is plain fabric and the other half is a combination of two fabrics.

These triangle units are then stitched between Four Patch units (a quilting method that we used for Block 2 of this year’s sew-along quilt, Five Patch Chain).

Untrimmed block size: 12½in (31.75cm) square
