This is the book from C&T Publishing that the quilt and directions are in. I added crosswise rows at both ends to make it more rectangular and it fits a twin/single bed.

The blocks will finish at 20" so I only need to make 12 of them for a 60" x 80" quilt top. That is assuming I won't add sashing or a border.

Der Interwoven Quilt ist schwarz-weiß geworden. In einem Quilt Along habe ich die Streifen aneinander genäht und tatsächlich fertig bekommen. Das Muster habe ich von Loandbehold.2019 is my black and white year. It all started with the Interwoven Quilt Along. Stripes in black and white- easy peasy- but that was not how it worked. It was difficult to have the right 1/4" seams. I got the pattern from Lo and Behold Stitchery.
