BLOCKS by SIZE 10" Quilt Blocks

What could be easier, math-wise, than a quilt block in a 10 inch size? Surprisingly, the 10" block is not the most commonly used size, (that would be the 12" block), but there are still many quilt blocks that fit into this category and here is my list of currently available patterns.

Lady of the Lake

Sample Quilt Layouts

The Lady of the Lake quilt block is designed using only two sizes of half square triangles. All that is required is good contrast between each of the pieces in those half square triangles.

Below are two example scrappy quilts. The quilt layout on the left uses blocks with an assortment of scraps as the dark fabric in each half square triangle. This quilt layout places the blocks on point and utilizes setting triangles in a constant colour for a place for the eye to rest.

The quilt layout on the right places the blocks side by side, but uses 90 degree rotations of some of the blocks for a secondary pattern to emerge. This quilt also features each block using two fabrics only - but different dark fabrics in each block, thereby resulting in a scrappy quilt with a different look.
