BLOCKS by SIZE 12" Quilt Blocks

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.

Blackford's Beauty

Free Quilt Block Pattern

Blackford's Beauty has been around for a long time. For this version, I took some liberties and simplified the construction. Most patterns use only squares and half square triangles to create this quilt block. By changing up some of the half square triangle patches to flying geese units -- and -- using some rectangles rather than small squares of the same colour, you will find that there is less bulk as there are fewer seams in the completed block.
