This page is for quilt blocks that are larger than 16" as a finished product. Some quilt block patterns lend themselves better to be larger -- generally, because they are made with measurements that are not the norm, or they are more complicated and therefore require more pieces. The good news here is that by making a larger quilt block, you need to make fewer for your final project. A win-win situation.

Leavenworth Nine Patch

Sample Quilt Layouts

Shown below are two very different quilt layouts featuring the Leavenworth Nine Patch quilt block.

The quilt layout featured on the left sets the blocks on point and rotates some of those blocks to produce both horizontal and vertical "chains" to enhance the design.

The quilt layout illustrated on the right sets the block side by side but rotates some of the blocks to produce a very different design, making the diagonal "chains" lead the eye all around the quilt.
