 BLOCKS by SIZE | 16" Quilt Blocks |
Larger quilt blocks offer the incentive that there are less to make to produce your quilt. When time is limited, this size of block is your best friend. A second feature is that you can try a more difficult design as the pieces may be many, but the sizes of the patches are easy to work with. A win-win all around.
Starglow
Free Quilt Block Pattern
The Starglow quilt block is the perfect choice if you want to make a larger block rather than several smaller blocks. The quilt block itself does not contain over-sized pieces, as some larger blocks do. There are just more pieces in the block. But, the bonus is that you need to make fewer blocks for your quilt.
This quilt block contains several different patches, so it is a good choice for practicing your skills. You will see half square triangles, flying geese units, and if you look closely you will also see the square in the square patches.
This quilt block is the perfect one for using up your scraps as it makes a fantastic looking scrappy quilt -- simply by choose three different fabrics for each block. Just be sure to have lots of contrast between your fabric selections.
