BLOCKS by SIZE | 7.5" Quilt Blocks |
Ten inch quilt blocks are a favourite of quilters. However if you are wanting to make a smaller version of any given 10" block, with a little finagling, the math for a 7½ inch block is not that difficult. And -- for the blocks below, I have done that math for you! A win-win!
Crown of Thorns
Free Quilt Block Pattern
The Crown of Thorns quilt block is made in one of the most popular block sizes - the 10" quilt block which can sometimes make the math easier for quilters who wish to scale up or down the given block size. (I have also included cutting instructions for a 7 1/2" block as well.)
This quilt block is one of the uneven nine patch blocks, so called because the final three rows of sewing are not all the same size. (You will find that many 10" blocks are constructed as uneven nine patch blocks.) However, it can be easily sewn as five rows of five patches if you prefer.
This block makes great use of the common half square triangle patches so it is an easy block to create.
