BLOCKS by SIZE 9" Quilt Blocks

Sample Quilt Layouts

The Arrows quilt block falls into one of my favourite categories -- the directional type of quilt block. By rotating this block by 90 degrees you can get a different effect in the resultant quilt than what you see in just the block -- and as an added bonus, secondary designs can emerge.
