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.

Who doesn't like an optical illusion? If this idea is something you like, then this block is a great choice. It is a simple block to construct and is made entirely of half square triangles. I have designed the block as a four patch, but you can easily sew it together row by row as well.
