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.

Rio Grande Crossing

Sample Quilt Layouts

Take advantage of the directional nature of this simple nine patch quilt block called Rio Grande Crossing. All sorts of interesting quilt layouts can be achieved when you choose to rotate a single block or a group of blocks by 90 degrees. Secondary patterns start to emerge.

Choose to set the quilt blocks side by side or by placing the blocks on point, extra blank blocks and setting triangles give huge pops of colour.
