BLOCKS by SIZE | 14" Quilt Blocks |
Do you want to make a large quilt, but don't have a lot of time? The 14" inch quilt block might be your choice. Larger sized blocks equal less blocks to make and the "finish line" is in sight faster. Fourteen inch blocks are typically made as seven patches, as they are designed on a 7 x 7 grid.

Free Quilt Block Pattern
I have assigned the Autumn Leaves quilt block to the Intermediate skill level -- not because it has difficult pieces, but because there are so many pieces in the block -- 53 to be precise. The only patches used are squares, rectangles and half square triangles.
By taking your time, you can create this lovely seven patch block in no time, as long as you take care to be precise in sewing an accurate quarter inch seam allowance. The good news is that you will make a larger quilt block due to the design using a 7 grid, and so this makes a lovely 14" quilt block. However, I have also given instructions for making a 7" quilt block as well.
