 BLOCKS by SIZE | 5" Quilt Blocks |
For those quilters wanting a little more of a challenge, five inch quilt blocks might be the answer -- smaller blocks usually means more blocks to make. Another reason for using five inch blocks is to create a secondary pattern. By using 4 blocks and rotating each of them, you get a different larger quilt block. These larger blocks can then be laid out in variety of ways to make some very interesting original designs.

The Alpine Cross quilt block is a striking five patch design featuring primarily half square triangles. Rectangles and squares are the only additional patches required to make this easy quilt block.
The fun in making this quilt block is in choosing the colour palette that interests you. Whether you choose a darker fabric for the bulk of the patches or a lighter one, this block goes together easily and makes for a stunning quilt.
