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.

Kansas Star

Free Quilt Block Pattern

The Kansas Star quilt block is the perfect choice for those quilters who are just beginning to discover this wonderful hobby.

The block is a nine patch design made entirely of square in a square patches, thereby giving you lots of practice in sewing this popular patch. Colour placement of the triangle pieces is what gives this block its "shine" -- (I just couldn't resist since this is a star block).
