Blazed Trail
Free Quilt Block Pattern
The Blazed Trail quilt block is a four patch design featuring simple patches, and so, is a quick and easy block to sew.
The only pieced patches are the half square triangles that form the toes on the, sort of, "paws" in those two quadrants. Traditional quilters will see a resemblance to the Bear's Paw quilt block.
This quilt block has one of my favourite characteristics -- that being its directional nature. These types of blocks lend themselves to all sorts of interesting possibilities when designing your quilt.
