BLOCKS by SIZE 9" Quilt Blocks

There is no question that 12" quilt blocks are the most commonly used. But at times, you want to make a block that is a little smaller and uses easy math. Enter the 9 inch block -- not too big and not too small, but just fits the bill.

Cat and Mouse

Free Quilt Block Pattern

The Cat and Mouse quilt block is a four patch using half square triangle cut pieces individually rather than as two pieces to make a square. Secondly, this block makes use of the square in the square patch, but again, not in the traditional manner -- but it does require the cutting of the patch as such.

This all sounds very complicated, but the making of this block is relatively simple, so have no fear.
