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.

Free Quilt Block Pattern

The Next Door Neighbor quilt block (or in my "neck of the woods" it would be spelled Next Door Neighbour), is a wonderful choice as a learning tool for a beginner quilter.

This block is comprised of only half square triangles, (which are the first pieced patches you will learn), and squares. This four patch design will make a perfect addition to your collection of pinwheel blocks.
