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.

Crowning Glory

Free Quilt Block Pattern

Even though it is commonly thought that a woman's hair is her crowning glory, I also see a "crown" in this quilt block. So, I decided to use the "royal" colours of purple and gold to go along with the title of this Crowning Glory.

This nine patch design features half square triangle cut patches as well as quarter square triangles to form the crown. This quilt block gives you lots of practice using these two common shapes in the design.
