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.

Lori's Star

Free Quilt Block Pattern

Lori's Star uses the Ohio Star quilt block as the centre of the completed block. Additional squares and triangles surrounding the centre block make this a new and different variation.

I would consider this quilt block as an intermediate level due to the number of pieces required. However, don't let that stop you. With careful regard to your quarter inch seam allowance, you will experience no difficulty.
