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.

Sample Quilt Layouts

The two quilt layouts shown below give you ideas of how to turn a simple block design into a stunning quilt.

The quilt layout featured on the left increases the size of each block by the addition of large corner triangles in various colours used in the quilt. Careful colour placement of these corner triangles gives a whole new dimension to the final design.

The quilt layout illustrated on the right uses many of the blocks with the patches flipping direction in the sewing process. This creates a secondary design in the quilt by the placement of these flipped blocks.
