BLOCKS by SIZE | 14" Quilt Blocks |
Do you want to make a large quilt, but don't have a lot of time? The 14" inch quilt block might be your choice. Larger sized blocks equal less blocks to make and the "finish line" is in sight faster. Fourteen inch blocks are typically made as seven patches, as they are designed on a 7 x 7 grid.
Greek Cross - Seven Patch
Free Quilt Block Pattern
This Greek Cross quilt block version is for those who want a little more detail than the simplified Greek Cross block. Once your basic skills are established, you might want to move on to this interesting version.
Seven patch quilt blocks are not as common as others, for the obvious reason that there are many more pieces in the block. However, once you want to challenge yourself a little, try out this version of the Greek Cross. It is made with the most basic of shapes in quiltmaking -- squares, rectangles and half square triangles, so the only important consideration is careful attention to the precision of your quarter inch seams.
