Free Trade and Four Patch Quilt Pattern PDF

Create a charming, vintage-inspired quilt with our Free Trade and Four Patch Quilt Pattern PDF. This downloadable pattern makes a square quilt measuring approximately 40.5″ x 40.5″, a perfect size for a wall hanging, baby quilt, table topper, or an eye-catching accent draped over a chair. Best of all, it’s a quick and satisfying project—you only need four half-yard cuts of coordinating fabrics plus 1.5 yards of background fabric to bring it to life.

This design highlights two classic quilt blocks that carry a lovely sense of history. The Free Trade block first appeared in the Kansas City Star in 1933, during the golden age of newspaper quilt patterns. The accompanying Four Patch block is a timeless favorite, shown in The Romance of the Patchwork Quilt in America, published in 1935 by quilting pioneers Carrie Hall and Rose Kretsinger. Together, these blocks create a vintage look that feels both nostalgic and fresh—ideal for quilters who love traditional style with a modern twist.
