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.

Cheyenne

Free Quilt Block Pattern

The Cheyenne quilt block is a wonderful choice as an introductory block for a new quilter.

This block is technically a four patch design, as it is created using a 4 x 4 grid. However, it is actually sewn as an uneven nine patch due to the arrangement of the patches.

This block features two commonly used patches -- the half square triangle and the square in a square unit which makes up the centre of the block. You will have great fun with colour placement in this block.
