 BLOCKS by SIZE | 9" Quilt Blocks |
There is no question that 12" quilt blocks are the most commonly used. But at times, you want to make a block that is a little smaller and uses easy math. Enter the 9 inch block -- not too big and not too small, but just fits the bill.
London Eye
Free Quilt Block Pattern
The London Eye quilt block is a wonderful choice for those learning new patchwork techniques. It is a simple nine patch block featuring the most commonly used patch (after the square), called the half square triangle. But that is not all. Secondly, you get to use your new skills to construct what quilters call a three quarter square triangle patch, since there are three triangles to fill the square. This type of patch uses a half square triangle piece as well as two quarter square triangles, (so named as frequently, there are four of these pieces to make a patch).
