Larger quilt blocks offer the incentive that there are less to make to produce your quilt. When time is limited, this size of block is your best friend. A second feature is that you can try a more difficult design as the pieces may be many, but the sizes of the patches are easy to work with. A win-win all around.

Sample Quilt Layouts

The God's Eye eight patch quilt block features lots of half square triangles and flying geese units -- the most commonly used pieced patches in quiltmaking.

Whether you place your blocks on point or side by side in your chosen quilt layout, as subtle secondary pattern emerges in the background fabric -- sort of like a starburst (at least to my eyes). Can you spot it?
