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.
Millstone
Free Quilt Block Pattern
The Millstone quilt block was new to me. I quite enjoyed seeing the possibilities with colour. This block is comprised of lots of different elements -- squares, half square triangle pieces, quarter square triangles and flying geese.
For the reason that there are so many bias edges, I have added this quilt block to the intermediate category, although there is really nothing difficult to making the block. By taking care with your piecing and those pesky bias edges, this block will be a very welcome addition to any quilt.
