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.

Crystals

Free Quilt Block Pattern

The Crystals quilt block is a nine patch design featuring two of the most commonly used quilt patches. I decided to go with a "winter" theme of ice crystals as my colour choices.

This block includes lot of half square triangles and a patch that I think is my own personal favourite - the flying geese unit. Both of these pieced patches are the first ones you will learn when you are a beginner to quiltmaking.
