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.

In my opinion, the Frolic quilt block lives up to its name. I think it looks like it would be fun to make, and it is. This block is made of simple shapes -- just squares and half square triangles. The only difficulty is that you must be sure to take great care with achieving an accurate 1/4" seam allowance to ensure the precision of the block.
