🍇 Why the Name “Blueberry Pie”?
The block earns its name from the deep blue tones often used in its fabric choices, reminiscent of rich blueberry filling. Its radiating square-in-a-square layout also resembles the slice of a pie when arranged with multiple blocks. Though traditionally created in blue and white or cream fabrics, you can certainly play with color try raspberry reds, lemon yellows, or earthy browns to give your block a different “flavor.”

-
Fabric A (dark blue) – for the pie “filling”

Fabric B (light blue or cream) – for the crust and background
-
Fabric C (optional print) – to add variation or “flavor”

-
Quilting ruler
