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.

Road to California

Free Quilt Block Pattern

The Road to California quilt block is comprised of one of my favourite quilt patches -- the flying geese unit. (This should really be called a "flying goose" unit, but then, who am I to be deciding?) Anyway, this block can be made in all sorts of interesting ways.

I have chosen to make a "scrappy" quilt block, with a dark background (to represent the night sky). You might decide to use two fabrics only, one dark and one light, or mix it up in some other way.

The construction of each block is made as an uneven nine patch.
