 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.
Old Maid's Puzzle
Free Quilt Block Pattern
The Old Maid's Puzzle quilt block is another of the blocks that are often used to teach the beginner quilter. It contains only the square and half square triangle patches. Colour arrangement and block layout can have a big impact on how this block looks when a whole quilt is designed using this block.
You might also note that this quilt block looks suspiciously just like the Fox and Geese quilt block. Perhaps it is one of those cases where the same quilt block goes by many names.
