Do you have a aversion to math? Well then the 15" inch quilt block is a welcome choice as the patches are designed in divisions and multiples of fives for ease. An added bonus is that by making a larger block, your quilt will go together in no time as there are less blocks to make.
China Doll
Free Quilt Block Pattern
The China Doll quilt block uses only the simplest of quilt patches -- squares, rectangles and half square triangles. These are the first units you will use when you are new to quiltmaking.
This is a five patch block (because it is designed on a 5 x 5 grid). However, for ease in the sewing, I choose to make it as an uneven nine patch for the reason that I like to work in "chunks" rather than row by row. It is a simple matter of preference on my part. You choose what is the best method for you.
