 BLOCKS by SIZE | 6" Quilt Blocks |
Many quiltmakers like to make six inch quilt blocks in order to use a greater variety of blocks in a sampler style quilt. Another reason might be to test out the look of a block in a smaller size in order to save on the fabrics (just in case the block looks very different than in your imagination).
Whatever your reason for creating six inch blocks, the pieces are all just smaller versions of larger sized quilt blocks -- such as the most popular size, the 12" quilt block. This is what makes quiltmaking so exciting -- you are the designer and get to choose all the components.
Clown's Choice
Free Quilt Block Pattern
The Clown's Choice quilt block is a nine patch design. This block is a good choice for instructors in quiltmaking as a lesson two. It features primarily the quarter square triangle patch as the pieced component, along with several square patches.
The interest in this block comes with the placement of your colours and perhaps making a second block reversing some of the fabrics, as illustrated in the sample quilts on the following page.
