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.

Greek Cross

Free Quilt Block Pattern

Don't be fooled by the simplicity of the Greek Cross quilt block. As illustrated in the sample quilts shown on the next page, you can create lots of interest with a simple quilt block.

The Greek Cross block is a wonderful block to choose if you are new to quilting. Only three shapes are used in this block -- the square, rectangle and the half square triangle. These days it is rare to find a quilt block that does not contain the half square triangle unit. It is probably the most commonly used quilt patch (after the square of course).

I have offered the instructions for this nine patch quilt block in three different sizes. So, choose the size you want and the cutting board awaits!
