While it was fun to celebrate Christmas in July last week, I’m excited to jump right back into summer sewing with a new block in the series. This week’s latest Blocks 2 Quilt addition is the Ice Cream Cone Quilt block.
Growing up ice cream cones were such a summery treat. Some of my fondest memories involve the hot planks of the boardwalk along the New Jersey shore and a chocolate chip ice cream cone. The cones posed a challenge in the summer heat. The goal, to avoid drips on the base of the cone!
It’s funny how my tastebuds have changed over time. While I still enjoy the refreshing taste of mint, I tend to have a wider pallet these days.
Ice Cream Cone Quilt Block Details
Each finished Ice Cream Cone quilt block measures-

There are so many options with this sweet treat of a block. From your favorite flavor to the latest concoction your local creamery can churn up. This block is perfect.
Even though this adorable block has an isosceles triangle design, it requires no templates or special rulers. Instead, I show you just how easy to create this design with simple patchwork pieces.
Don’t let that sharp triangle fool you, the Ice Cream Cone quilt block is perfect for the confident beginner.
You can add the Ice Cream Cone quilt block pattern to your library for free until August 8th, 2019, after that it will be available for sale in the shop.
No matter what flavor you fancy, the Ice Cream Cone quilt block will make a wonderful quilt when paired together with the Lemonade Spritzer, the Summer Ice Pop, and Cocktail Hour.

Looking forward to getting all the tips!
Really cute block. Great to have the video to go along. The angle of your camera relative to the cutting mat made me feel like I was falling or like the pieces would fall off the mat. Maybe adjust that a little to make the video a little less vertigo-inducing.
Would love to see the video of how to make the bottom half of this block! Thanks!
Beautifully crafted ice cone quilt block pattern. Amazing work.
Thanks
