BLOCKS by SIZE 8" Quilt Blocks

Eight inch quilt blocks are commonly used in quilts that are made up of one block only and the parts are easily divisible by four. Also, by setting the blocks in different layouts, you can create many different new designs -- sometimes with just a simple rotation of the block. This is not to say that larger or smaller versions of the same quilt block cannot be used in your quilt. Once again, you are the designer.

Poinsettia

Free Quilt Block Pattern

The Poinsettia quilt block is a perfect choice for the holiday season. I'm always in awe of a big display of multiple poinsettias displayed on a black velvet cloth, and so, that is the colour theme I went for in this block.

This four patch block is a perfect choice for a beginner quilter since it uses only two common patches -- the half square triangle and the flying geese units in a striking result.
