 BLOCKS by SIZE | 5" Quilt Blocks |
For those quilters wanting a little more of a challenge, five inch quilt blocks might be the answer -- smaller blocks usually means more blocks to make. Another reason for using five inch blocks is to create a secondary pattern. By using 4 blocks and rotating each of them, you get a different larger quilt block. These larger blocks can then be laid out in variety of ways to make some very interesting original designs.
Farmer's Daughter
Free Quilt Block Pattern
The Farmer's Daughter block is an easy choice for the beginner quilter. It is a five patch quilt block (so described as it is designed on a 5 x 5 grid), but I choose to construct it as an uneven nine patch because I like to work in "chunks" rather than in rows. However, if your preference is to sew it in rows, then you know best.
I described this as an easy block because it contains only the most basic quilt patches -- the square and the half square triangle, which is the first pieced patch you learn in your quiltmaking journey.
