Frequently Asked Questions

Where did you get the information for the quilt blocks?

Answer: I’ve found information from many sources, including reference books and online resources.
For a full list of reference materials, please see the Quilt Block Library References Page.

How many blocks are in the Quilt Block Library?

Answer: There are currently over 200 blocks in the Library, with more added on a regular basis.

Where are the instructions?

Answer: The Library is intended to serve as a reference to document the names and designs of common quilt blocks. Not all of the designs in the library have instructions for how to make the block. In many cases, you can download coloring sheets of the blocks and you can find patterns of the blocks on Etsy that can be downloaded for a small fee.

Where did you get the block illustrations? Can I use them on my website?

Answer:  All of the images were drawn by me in Adobe Illustrator. I am happy for you to use them in a non-commercial/personal way as long as you credit Scissortail Quilting and provide a link back to ScissortailQuilting.com (when applicable).  Examples of such use would be to present some of the images in a slideshow for your guild or to post a picture on your website. Any commercial use is strictly prohibited.  Examples of commercial use would be using the images on a t-shirt or on any item or product that you produce and sell for profit.
