Golden Gate
Free Quilt Block Pattern
The Golden Gate quilt block is a wonderful choice as your first project if you are a beginner quilter. This block contains only simple shapes -- the square, rectangle -- and the most commonly used quilt patch -- the half square triangle.
Although I have chosen to use only three different fabrics, this nine patch quilt block would be great as a selection to use up many scraps you have collected, especially if you are creating a whole quilt of this one block.
