BLOCKS by SIZE 12" Quilt Blocks

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.

Cowboys

Free Quilt Block Pattern

My only guess as to why this quilt block is named Cowboys is because of the movement implied. I can visualize a cowboy riding along, with his lasso winding around his head, prior to letting go to grab his quarry. Perhaps that is the job of the pinwheel shapes in the block. Again, this is only my interpretation.

This four patch block will require a little more precision than some other, more forgiving blocks, as it is constructed entirely of triangles. However, nothing is difficult to construct, so you should have great fun sewing this block.
