Riley Blake Wood Chips - John Wayne Quilt Pattern

Project Overview

The Riley Blake Wood Chips - John Wayne is a downloadable PDF quilting pattern featuring the iconic John Wayne signature image and DUKE trademark. This intermediate-level quilt project produces a finished quilt measuring 66" x 76", making it a substantial bed-sized quilt suitable for experienced beginners and intermediate quilters.

What Is Being Made

This is a patchwork quilt pattern that celebrates John Wayne imagery through a structured block design. The quilt is constructed from multiple identical blocks arranged according to a quilt center diagram, creating a cohesive finished piece that combines pieced fabric sections with the licensed John Wayne design elements.

Quilt Construction and Block Design

The quilt is assembled from 30 individual Chip Blocks, each measuring 10" x 10" when finished. The pattern uses a straightforward piecing method that combines rectangular fabric strips of varying widths to create the characteristic "Wood Chips" block pattern.

Quilting Techniques and Stitches

This pattern requires basic knowledge of fundamental quilting techniques and terminology. The primary construction method involves:

• Piecing: Sewing fabric pieces together with right sides facing, using standard ¼" seam allowances throughout
• Block Assembly: Creating uniform 10" x 10" blocks by sewing rectangular fabric strips in a specific sequence
• Quilt Assembly: Arranging completed blocks according to the provided Quilt Center Diagram to form the full quilt top

Materials and Fabric Requirements

The pattern utilizes assorted print fabric rectangles in two different sizes: 2½" x 10½" rectangles and 6½" x 10½" rectangles. These are sewn together to create each Chip Block. The pattern is designed to work with Riley Blake Designs fabrics, and the specific yardage and material requirements are detailed within the downloadable PDF pattern document.

Pattern Details

All measurements provided in the pattern include ¼" seam allowance, a standard quilting allowance. Since each block incorporates different assorted prints, the pattern allows for creative fabric selection while maintaining consistent block sizing. Quilters should refer to the Quilt Center Diagram included in the PDF for accurate piece placement and block arrangement.

Skill Level

Classified as an intermediate difficulty project, this pattern is appropriate for quilters with foundational piecing experience and familiarity with basic quilting terminology and techniques.
