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.
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.
