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.

Disappearing Nine Patch

Free Quilt Block Pattern

The Disappearing Nine Patch quilt block is named for a specific reason. You start with the simplest of nine patch blocks. Then, by cross-cutting the block into four sections and rotating some of those sections, you come up with a very different looking block.

This block is designed with machine piecers in mind as you cannot cross-cut pieces when you are stitching the block by hand. However, I have also designed the pattern for hand piecers and I named it Mosaic.

For this version of the block -- the machine pieced one -- the background is dark and the accent pieces are light. This is the reverse of the fabrics in the hand pieced version -- (just so you can see something different).
