I am not a pattern writer but will do my best here to explain how these are made. I use a trick I learned from my grandmother that I never used until now.

The biscuit quilt has a front and back block to each square. For the back I use leftover pieces of backing or unbleached muslin. The back will not show in the finished quilt so you can use scraps. I do use 100% cotton.

These blocks can be set together in your choice of designs. The black and white one I did is done in the "Trip Around the World" setting. When you are making a biscuit or puff block, it doesn't matter what size you want to make there is only one rule to remember. The front of the block is cut 1/2" larger then the back of the block.

Sew the front block to the back block, wrong sides together, matching the first two corners. Sewing with an 1/8" seam allowance sew from the top corner to the bottom corner making a 1/2" dart in the center of the top block and folding the dart toward you. Turn and continue to sew across the bottom, making the same 1/2" dart. Turn again and sew up the third side always putting a 1/2 dart in the center and folding it toward yourself. When doing the blocks, you can do what is called chain sewing. Make a chain of blocks without cutting the thread each with three sides sewn and one open.

After all the blocks are sewn on three sides and you have a chain of blocks it is time to stuff them. Here I like to use pieces of scrap batting or cotton. If using the batting you will have to pull it apart into small pieces to stuff each block. Careful now, don't overstuff. When the blocks are all stuffed the way you want them go back the the sewing machine and sew across the top of each block making the same 1/2" dart as you go across the top.

Once all the blocks are closed lay out the blocks and decide which pattern you want to use to set them together. To set them together, place the blocks right sides together and sew with a 1/4" seam allowance. Now that the top is sewn together cut your backing to fit the size of your top. Place the backing right side up and lay the top of the quilt right side down. Sew the top and backing together around the outside edges using a 1/4" seam allowance and leaving an opening large enough for turning. Turn, and whip the opening closed.

Note: On the smaller things I made like the chair pads, I didn't bother with the next step. On the larger things, I tacked the backing to the top to hold it together. The quilt could have been quilted in the ditch but I tacked it to save time.
