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.

Jacob's Ladder - Variation

Free Quilt Block Pattern

The Jacob's Ladder - Variation quilt block does not resemble, in any way, the traditional Jacob's Ladder quilt block, but then I don't choose the name of these blocks.

This quilt block is comprised of only squares and flying geese patches and so, the block is easy to construct as an uneven nine patch.

I chose to make this block as a "scrappy" version (favourites of mine) but you could easily use a special colour scheme of your own for a different look.

You might think this block does look familiar though. Perhaps you might want to look closely at Road to California to spot the differences.
