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.
Ruins of Jericho
Free Quilt Block Pattern
The Ruins of Jericho quilt block is an easy design featuring only simple patches, and is one of many different biblical blocks available on this website.
The half square triangle patches are the only pieced units -- the first ones you will learn in your quiltmaking journey. Rectangles and squares finish out this design.
I almost forgot -- the centre pieced unit is called a square in a square patch -- one you will see over and over in quilt blocks.
