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.

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.
