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.

Mystery Flower Garden

Free Quilt Block Pattern

The Mystery Flower Garden quilt block is a wonderful choice for a teaching project for new quilters.

This nine patch design features the quarter square triangle and also uses the half square triangle as part of a patch that quilters sometimes refer to as a three quarter square triangle. See if you can spot it.

Tapping into the name of the block, I used several different colours of fabrics to be the "flowers" in the mystery garden. This is a great way to use up some of that stash.
