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.
Card Trick
Sample Quilt Layouts
The Card Trick quilt block is an old favourite. Each of the four sections represents a "card" and here you will see two quilts designed using the same colour scheme for each block. This would actually make a fabulous "scrappy" quilt by making each one of the cards in all of the various blocks of a different fabric leading to a wonderful, vibrant quilt.
The quilt layouts shown below are the two most commonly used settings for your quilt blocks -- a side by side setting and a layout of the blocks on point with additional blank blocks to showcase your quilting designs.
