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.

Princess Charlotte

Free Quilt Block Pattern

I don't know if this is a quilt block that has been around for a while or it was created for the royal baby -- Princess Charlotte. I know I had never seen it before.

I like this nine patch block for its possibilities when you arrange it in your quilt, and also because it is an easy quilt block to sew. It contains simple shapes to work with and the two most common patches used in quilts -- the half square triangle and one of my favourites, the flying geese unit.
