What could be easier, math-wise, than a quilt block in a 10 inch size? Surprisingly, the 10" block is not the most commonly used size, (that would be the 12" block), but there are still many quilt blocks that fit into this category and here is my list of currently available patterns.

Desert Highway

Free Quilt Block Pattern

The Desert highway is a simple block using the most common quilt patches -- the square and the half square triangle.

Even though this block is technically a five patch design, I have chosen to construct this block as an uneven nine patch, simply because I am not a fan of sewing individual rows together. However, do not hesitate to construct your block in rows if that is your preference.
