EXPERTISE LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE to CHALLENGING. Familiarity with/ knowledge of Foundation Paper Piecing is necessary. An alternative pattern allows you to add piecing to part of the pattern, if you are comfortable with it.

This is an original quilt block pattern, designed as BLOCK 12 of Dreamcatcher Dusk Round the Year Quilt. The finished size of the block is 18" square. If you prefer to construct only the Jack's Chain circle, that finishes at 15" (diameter). Like all other blocks of the Dreamcatcher Quilt, this is also a versatile, stand-alone pattern. You may use this pattern to make a table/ bed runner or cushion cover, if not using it for the Dreamcatcher quilt.

The Back Story of the Block: This Block 12 of the Dreamcatcher Round the Year BOM Quilt is inspired by the beautiful Jack’s Chain block. I couldn’t decide what I wanted to call it. I thought of something to do with 9-patches and then Jill’s Chain! But then I counted the number of pieces in the circle – 144. It could not be chance that Block Twelve should contain twelve twelves, could it? The name would have to to have some reference to this, I thought. No way was I going to call it ` Gross’, which is the correct nomenclature for a dozen dozens! Dozens Squared sounded better, also as the dozens would in any case be inset in a square! I used a simplified version of the same pattern to make 2" blocks which finished in a 10" mini-quilt Cupcakes and Tea with Jack!

Happy Quilting!
