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.
Four Corners
Free Quilt Block Pattern
The Four Corners quilt block resembles the Ohio Star, but has additional interest in both the centre of the block and the four corners.
This block is a wonderful choice to enhance your piecing skills as there are many quarter square triangle patches used in the block. The cutting instructions I have given will leave you with a few extra quarter square triangles to use for other blocks. It is a better choice to cut these pieces in this manner, rather than as half square triangles for those patches, in order to make the best use of the grain of the fabric and prevent distortion of the pieces.
