Checkerboard Star

Free Quilt Block Pattern

The Checkerboard Star quilt block is a simple nine patch block comprised of simple patches -- the flying geese unit and squares.

As illustrated by the sample quilt layouts, an entirely different look can be achieved by setting the blocks on point or a straight set with the blocks side by side.

This quilt block shown, was made in a monochromatic style, but would be lovely as a scrap quilt too or by choosing two different colour families.
