 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.

Sample Quilt Layouts
Both of the quilt layouts shown below feature the blocks set on the diagonal -- but with very different results.
The quilt layout featured on the left uses full blocks as well as plain blank blocks (a perfect spot to showcase your quilting design). The additional half blocks form a sort of border around the edges.
The quilt layout illustrated on the right separates the blocks with sashing strips with "cornerstones" to give an added design element to the quilt.
