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.

Rocky Road to Dublin

Sample Quilt Layouts

The two quilt layouts shown below are designed using the Rocky Road to Dublin quilt block and take full advantage of the directional nature of this nine patch block.

The quilt layout illustrated on the left sets the blocks side by side and rotates several blocks by 90 degrees to form a geometric design featuring diamonds.

The quilt layout featured on the right uses an on point block setting and separates them with sashing strips. By careful choosing which blocks to rotate, a new and unique design emerges for the quilt.
