A quilter's favourite - the twelve inch quilt block. These are probably the most commonly used. The measurements divide easily and evenly for quick calculations. Whether the goal is a bed-sized quilt or a cuddle quilt in an afghan size, a 12" quilt block is your go-to choice.

Bear Tracks

Free Quilt Block Pattern

The Bear Tracks quilt block is an old favourite. It looks wonderful using either a dark or a light fabric for the background. Here I have chosen to use a dark fabric to offset the other features of the quilt block.

This is a great nine patch block for teachers to use because it contains both the half square triangle and quarter square triangle patches.

Due to the "look" of the block in the colours I have chosen, I see a star as well. Can you see it too?
